    Make sure that tires are in the straight forward position by driving tractor in a straight line for at least 15.24 m (50 ft).



  2. Verify that equal lengths of steering cylinder are showing on either side of tractor.

  3. 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.

  4. Move tractor forward until front tires are rotated 180°.

  5. Repeat Step 3 at rear of tire, at the same point.

  6. Determine the difference between front and rear measurements. The difference may be in either direction (toe-in or toe-out), but should be adjusted to 0.0 mm + or - 3 mm (1/8 in.). Setting toe-in as close to 0 as possible will provide least amount of tire wear on hard surfaced roads.
