CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION'--
A
WARNING:
Owners should ensure that
4lla
all steering components are maintained
in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure
safe operation and comply with legal require-
ments.
FRONT WHEEL TRACK ADJUST-
MENT (four wheel drive)
Front wheel drive tractors have fixed axle assem-
blies. However. the wheels are fully adjustable
having separate rims and center discs. The discs
are dished and by reversing their position on the
hub (by inter-changing the front wheels) two dif-
ferent track settings can be achieved. In addition,
the lugs on the wheel rim to which the discs are
attached are off-set relative
to
the center line of
the wheel. By changing the wheel rim relative to
the center disc and/or the disc relative to the axle
hub a range of track settings may be achieved.
A
WARNING:
With a front wheel on a
.a
four wheel drive tractor supported on a
stand. never attempt to rotate the wheel or start
the engine. This
may
cause the rear wheels to
move resulting in the tractor falling from the
stand. Wheels should always
be
supported such
that the tires are only just clear of the ground.
The sectioned drawings shown in the following
tables (Figures 37 - 39) illustrate the wheel rim
and disc positions relative to the hub at various
track settings.
Each drawing represents either a left-hand wheel
viewed from the rear or a right-hand wheel
viewed from the front.
NOTE: When interchanging left and right-hand
wheel
assemblies,
ensure the
tlV"
of the tire tread
remains pointing in the direction of forward
travel.
