Checking Front Wheel Toe-in

With the tractor on a level surface, check to make sure the
front wheel toe-in is between 1/8 and 1/4 in. For
instructions on adjusting toe-in, refer to Servicing the
Front Wheel Toe-in, page 27.
Ensuring that the Steering
Linkage is Centered
1. With the tractor on a level surface, turn the steering
wheel fully to the left and check the clearance of the
left hand spindle stop to the stop on the front axle.
There should be a slight clearance between the stops
(Fig. 57).

both sides have clearance.
