To Adjust
WARNING: Never operate the tractor with loose wheel assembly fasteners. Always tighten the fasteners to the specified torque, and frequently check that they are tight.
IMPORTANT: When changing the tread width of the rear wheels, you must pay attention to the direction of the tire’s tread design and make certain to maintain that direction. To do this, it will at times be necessary to switch wheel assemblies from one side of the tractor to the other.
•Raise and support the rear of the tractor.
•Adjust the tread widths as shown by changing the mounting relationship of the wheel disc to the rim mounting brackets and/or the relationship of dish of the wheel disc to the axle. See Figure 47.

CHECKING STEERING WHEEL
If it is difficult to drive the tractor in a straight line, check the play in the steering wheel. Acceptable steering wheel play is 0.8 to 2.0 inches (24 to 50 mm) as measured at the outer circumference of the steering wheel. If your steering wheel free play exceeds the acceptable range, contact your Cub Cadet dealer to have the tractor inspected.
