NOTE: For Independent Link Suspension tractors in addition to
the front wheels being straight, Independent Link Suspension axle
must be level.
Make sure tires are in the straight forward position by driving
tractor in a straight line for at least 15.24 m (50 ft).
-
Verify that equal lengths of the steering cylinder are showing
on either side of tractor.
-
Measure distance between center line of tires at the hub level
in front of axle. Mark the point that is measured.
-
Drive forward until front tires are rotated 180°.
NOTE: When measuring rear of tire, make sure both front and
rear measurements are from same point on tire. If front measurement
of tire was from center line, then rear measurement of tire must be
taken from tire center line. When performing rear measurement the
transmission will be in the way. Make measurement from tire to loader
bracket on each side of tractor, then add the width of transmission
512 mm (20.2 in.).
-
Repeat step 3 at rear of tire at same point.
-
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.).
