Two-Piece Front Axle — Notes on Adjusting the Steering Stop (Version 2)

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: The required setting values of the steering stops can be found in one of the following tables:

• “Two-Piece Front Axle — Adjust the Fixed Fenders and Steering Stop (Version 2)”

• “Two-Piece Front Axle — Adjust the Pivoting Fenders and Steering Stop (Version 2)”

See corresponding front axle model on the following pages.

1. Adjust fenders (if equipped) and tread settings before setting steering stop positions.

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” of the relevant front axle.

3. Measure the length of screw (a) as shown; this will bring the steering stops to their correct position. A depth of at least 10 mm (0.4 in.) to which the steering stops are screwed in must be ensured.

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

   Item	Measurement	Specification
   Steering Stop Retaining Nuts	Torque	90 ± 10 N·m (67 ± 7 lb-ft)

5. Turn wheel fully to the right. Impact the knuckle housing against the steering stop five times. Repeat for left side.

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 setting, observe the following:

• Set the shut-off angle for the automatic engagement and disengagement of the front-wheel drive. See “Engage Front-Wheel Drive” in Section 45.

• Check whether the required clearances are kept. See “Prevent Front Wheel or Fender Contact with Tractor Components” in this section.
