The front wheel toe-in dimension is approximately 1/8-inch closer in front than in the rear. To measure for proper toe-in, make a chalk mark on the centerline of each tire the same height from the ground as the front wheel hubs. Measure the distance between the marks "A", then rotate the tires so that the marks are toward the rear of the tractor, the same height from the ground as they were in front. The dimension should be approxi- mately 118-inch larger at the rear. See "B."

To adjust the toe-in remove one ball joint, loosen the lock nut "c" at the ball joint and turn the tie rod ball joint in or out as required.

TURNING RADIUS

The front wheel should have an equal angle for left and right turns. If adjustment is necessary, remove ball joint and loosen lock nut "0", turn the drag link ball joint clockwise or counterclockwise as

required.
