FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN

Specification/Service Interval

If there is uneven tire wear, lawn scuffing, or
hard steering, toe-in may need to be adjusted.
Toe-in should be 1/8" - 1/4" (3 to 6 mm) on the
front wheels. This should be checked every
100 hours or once a year, whichever occurs first.

Measurement

1. Disengage the PTO, set the parking brake,
and turn the ignition key to
engine. Remove the key.
2. Turn wheels straight ahead. Square the
lower steering plate to the center line of the
frame rails by aligning a straight edge (A)
with the footrest support (B) as shown.
3. Push the front of the tires out to remove
normal looseness in the linkage.
4. Measure the distance between both front
tires at spindle level (at the front and rear of
the wheels).
5. The front measurement should be 1/8" to
1/4" (3 to 6 mm) less than the rear
measurement.
If adjustment is needed, follow the steps
outlined on the next page.
Note: The black steering tie rod end goes to the
front and has right hand threads.
