Distance Between Tires

A - Sway Blocks

B - Bumper

C - Shim

D - Distance Clearance Between Tires And Cab

E - Distance Between Tires

F - Spacer

Adjust bumper (B) by loosening lock nut and sliding forward or rearward as needed to limit the amount of sway.

Mount sway blocks in upper position to allow side sway when hitch is lowered. Side sway is prevented when hitch is raised.

NOTE: Use shims as needed to provide desired sway control. Shims can be purchased from your John Deere dealer.

If there is not enough adjustment in bumper block to remove hitch sway, install shims as necessary between bumper block and spacer (F).

IMPORTANT: Tires must have at least 25 mm (1. in.) clearance distance (D) with fenders. To prevent draft link interference, be sure distance (E) between tires is:

  • Category 3N Hitch—1.09 m (43 in.)
  • Category 3 Hitch—1.17 m (46 in.)
  • Category 4N Hitch—1.17 m (46 in.)
