Front Wheel Toe-In
Service Interval/Specification
Maintaining correct front wheel toe–in is important
for safety, Smart Turn
Steering operation, and ease
of use. If uneven tire wear, lawn scuffing or hard
steering develop, adjustment may be required. Check
the toe-in after every 100 operating hours or once a
year, whichever occurs first (Fig. 42).
Maintain the following specification: 1/8–1/4 inch
(3.5–6.5 mm) toe-in on the front wheels.
Measuring Toe-in
1.
Disengage the power take off (PTO), set the
parking brake, lower the attachment lift, and turn
the ignition key to "STOP" to stop the engine.
Remove the key.
2.
Turn the wheels straight ahead.
3.
Push the front of the tires out to remove normal
looseness in the linkage.
4.
Measure the distance between both of the front
tires at spindle level (at the front and rear of the
wheels) (Fig. 42).
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 instructions in
Adjusting Toe–In, page 35.
