Maintenance Schedule - MTD Series 600 Operator's Manual

3.
Replace hex nut after the proper adjustment is achieved.
NOTE:Threading the ball joints too far onto the drag links
will cause the front tires to "toe-in" too far. Proper toe-in is
between 1/16" and 5/16".
Front tire toe-in can be measured as follows:
1. Place the steering wheel in position for straight ahead
travel.
2. In front of the axle, measure the distance horizontally from
the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note
the distance.
3. Behind the axle, measure the distance horizontally from
the inside of the left rim to the inside of the right rim. Note
the distance.
4. The measurement taken in front of the axle should be
between 1/16" and 5/16" less than the measurement taken
behind the axle. Adjust if necessary.
ParkingBrakeAdjustment
WARNING: Never attempt to adjust the brakes
while the engine is running. Always disengage PTO,
move shift lever into neutral position, stop engine
and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
If the tractor does not come to a complete stop when the brake
pedal is completely depressed, or if the tractor's rear wheels
can roll with the parking brake applied, the brake is in need of
adjustment. See an authorized Troybilt Service Dealer to have
your brakes properly adjusted.
