Adjustable Front Axle (Tractors without Front-Wheel Drive)

The front axle can be adjusted at each end in increments of 51 mm (2 in.). Maximum wheel tread is obtained by reversing the front wheels.

If front wheels are removed to adjust tread, tighten front wheel bolts to 250 Nm (185 lb-ft) once the wheels are replaced.

IMPORTANT: After the first 4 and 8 hours of operation, retighten all front wheel bolts. Check tightness of these bolts frequently during the next 100 hours of operation.

NOTE: Wheel tread on tractors equipped with a front loader must not exceed 1.80 m (71 in.).

IMPORTANT: To avoid excessive stress on axle bolts, do not separate axle halves beyond the specified limits.

NOTE: On tractors with axle extension, tread width increases by up to 542 mm (21.3 in.).
