LX1053441-UN-21MAR12

Wheel with Square Dish

LX1056771-UN-12NOV12

Wheel with Round Dish

A - 500 N·m (370 lb.-ft.)

B - 210 N·m (155 lb.-ft.)

After adjusting wheel tread, tighten nuts (A) and (B).

IMPORTANT: The distance between the side wall of the tire and the fender must not be less than 40 mm (1.57 in.)¹.

The distance between the running surface (edge) of the tire and the fender must not be less than 60 mm (2.36 in.)¹.

If snow chains are installed on the tires, the minimum distance from the tires to the fenders (side wall to fender and running surface to fender) must be 100 mm (3.94 in.).

Rear wheels with rims for 2 positions

The tread width can be changed by mounting the complete tires on the other tractor side. In doing so, maintain the direction of tire rotation.

Rear-wheels with rims for 8 and 16 positions

Wheel tread can be adjusted by repositioning or reversing the wheel rims.

In addition, the complete wheel can be installed on the other side of the tractor. In doing so, maintain the direction of tire rotation.

After adjustment has been completed, tighten wheel retaining bolts to specified torque (see section Break-In Period).

The relationship of the rear wheel dish and rim in obtaining the different tread settings is shown in the following drawings. Pay attention to this information before setting the tread.

IMPORTANT: After adjusting wheel tread, retighten all wheel attaching nuts after 4 and 8 hours of operation. Check tightness of these nuts frequently during the next 100 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT: After adjusting tread, check that the wheels can turn freely.

Do NOT let tires come into contact with draft links or lift links. The gap between lift links and tires can be increased by installing the lift links in the front holes of the draft links.

When draft links are raised (even if no implement is attached), the hydraulic or mechanical stabilizer bars must be locked.

If there is still contact with the draft links or lift links despite all these measures, tread width must be increased.
