Steering Stop AL180127 for Narrower Tread Widths


IMPORTANT: For information on differentiating between the fender versions, see “Two-Piece Front Axle - Distinction between Fender (Version 1) and (Version 2)” in this section.

IMPORTANT: Settings listed are approximate, due to variations in tire size.

IMPORTANT: Steering stop AL180127 can be used for setting narrower tread widths.

IMPORTANT: The required adjustment values of the steering stops are listed in the table “Two-Piece Front Axle — Adjust the Pivoting Fenders and Steering Stop (Version 1)” of the relevant front axle. See this Section.

  1. Adjust fenders (if equipped) and the tread widths before setting the steering stops.

  2. The correct position of the steering stops for the tire size and tread width are listed in the table “Two-Piece Front Axle — Adjust the Pivoting Fenders and Steering Stop (Version 1)” of the relevant front axle.

  3. Set steering stops to correct position by measuring bolt length (a), as illustrated. It must be ensured that the steering stops can be screwed in to a depth of at least 10 mm (0.4 in.).

    If the length of the steering stops is not sufficient, the stop extension AL180127 can be used. Contact an authorized dealer for this.

  4. Tighten the retaining nuts of the steering stops to the specified torque.

  6. Tighten the steering stop retaining nuts to the specified torque once again.

  7. Turn steering wheel fully to the left and then fully to the right to check clearance.

IMPORTANT: After every adjustment, check to see that the required clearances are kept. See “Prevent Front Wheel or Fender Contact with Tractor Components” in this Section.
