The length of the upper hitch link is normally
determined by the design of each implement.
To adjust the upper hitch link, loosen the lock-
ing lever and turn the adjustment tube as
shown in Figure 28. After the appropriate length
is attained, tighten the locking lever. If correctly
adjusted, the upper hitch link will be parallel or
nearly parallel to the lower hitch links.

The length of the hitch chains, attached to each
lower hitch link, limit the side-to-side move-
ment of the lower links. Loosen the jam nut and
turn the chain’s hex shaft as shown in Figure
29 to adjust the length of the hitch chain.

ADJUSTING FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN
The front wheel toe-in is set at the factory and
should maintain the proper setting. However, the
toe-in
should
be
checked
periodically
and
readjusted if necessary.
CHECK THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:
•
Place the tractor on a level surface with the
wheels in the straight ahead position.
•
Place an easily visible mark on the center lines
of both front tires at the horizontal center line of
the wheel.
•
Measure and record the distance ‘A’ between
the two marks. See Figure 30.
•
Roll the tractor forward or rearward until the
marks are at the horizontal center line at the
rear of the wheels. Measure and record the
distance ‘B’ between the marks. See Figure 30.
