Checking Toe-In—MFWD Axle

P15213-UN-28JAN08

1. Park machine on level surface.

2. Turn steering wheel so front wheels are in the straight-ahead position. Stop engine.

3. Measure distance (A) between tire tread midpoint at hub level in front of axle. Record measurement and mark the tires.

4. Move tractor back about 1 m (3 ft), so mark is at hub level behind the axle. Again, measure distance between tire midpoints. Record measurement.

5. 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”.

6. Distance between midpoints at front of tires should be 3—6 mm (1/8—1/4 in.) less than distance measured at rear of tires. Adjust toe-in if necessary. (See procedure in this section.)
