Checking and Adjusting Toe-In

1. Disengage MFWD and park tractor on smooth, level surface. Position front wheels straight. Stop engine.

2. Measure distance between centerline of tires at the hub level in front of axle, using an outside bar of each tire or an inside bar of each tire. Mark the point that is measured.

3. Drive forward 180°.

4. Repeat step 2 at rear of tire, at same point.

5. Determine the difference between front and rear measurements. The difference may be in either direction (toe-in or toe-out), but should be less than 3 mm (1/8 in.)

6. Loosen nuts on both ends of right and left tie rod tubes (A).

7. Rotate tubes to lengthen or shorten tie rods, as needed to obtain toe-in or toe-out of less than 3 mm (1/8 in.) Each 1/8 turn equals approximately 4 mm (3/16 in.) change. Both tie rods should be of equal length.

8. Tighten nuts on both ends of tie rod tube (A) to 75 N·m (55 lb-ft).

NOTE: Bolt threads should point to front of tractor.
