Check Toe-In

With front-wheel drive axle

PULX001609-UN-19SEP08

1. Disengage front wheel drive and park tractor on smooth, level surface. Steer front wheels straight ahead. Stop engine.

2. Measure distance between centerline of tires at hub level in front of axle, using an outside bar of each tire.

3. Move tractor back about 1 m (3 ft.) so mark is at hub level behind the axle. Again measure distance between tires at same point on tire.

4. Determine the difference between front and rear measurements. If the front measurement is smaller, toe is ”in”. If the rear is smaller, toe is ”out”. Toe-in should be less than 2 mm (1/12 in.).
