STEERING ADJUSTMENT
If steering system feels loose, ensure hardware is tight
and check wear points for excessive wear. Replace
parts as needed.
If tractor wanders or excessive tire wear develops,
toe-in should be checked. Front of wheels should be
1/16" to 1/8" (2 to 3mm) closer together than rear of
wheels. To correct toe-in:
1. Loosen jam nuts at tie rod ends.
2. Turn tie rod clockwise to increase distance
between front of wheels. Turn tie rod
counterclockwise to decrease distance between
front of wheels.
3. Tighten jam nuts at tie rod ends.
