WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The caster (forward slant of the king pin) and the
camber (tilt of the wheels out at the top) require no
adjustment. Automotive steering principals have
been used to determine the caster and camber on
the tractor. The front wheels should toe-in 1/8
inch.
To adjust the toe-in, follow these steps.
1. Remove the elastic lock nut and drop the tie
rod end from the wheel bracket. See figure 21.
C.) Reassemble tie rod. Check dimensions. Read¬
just if necessary.
