FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN

Front wheel toe-in adjustments were made on
your tractor at the factory. Normally, the wheels
maintain their toe-in; however, an occasional
check should be made.

Checking Toe-In

To check toe-in:
1. With the front wheels in the straight-ahead
position, mark the front of the wheels (1) in
Figure 3-47, (not the tires) at wheel hub
height.
2. Measure and record the distance between
the front of the wheels at the marks, then
push the tractor forward or backward until the
marks are at wheel hub height on the rear of
the wheel.
3. Measure and record the distance between
the marks at the rear of the wheels.
4. The difference between the dimensions
recorded in step-2 and step-3 should give 0
mm – 5 mm toe-in. This means that the
distance between the marks on the wheels
should be 0 mm – 5 mm greater when the
marks are at the rear than at the front.

Adjusting Toe-In

If toe-in is not correct, adjust as follows:
1. Loosen the tie rod locknuts (1) in Figure 3-48.
2. Adjust the tie rod tubes assemblies (2) in
Figure 3-48, as required to give 0 mm – 5 mm
toe-in.
3. After the correct toe-in is obtained, tighten
the tie rod locknuts.
