Check Toe-In (MFWD Tractor)

PY15091-UN-03APR12

A - MFWD Axle Toe-In Distance

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

2. Measure distance (A) between centerline of tires at hub level in front of axle, using an outside bar of each tire or an inside bar of each tire. Record measurement and mark the tires.

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. Record measurement.

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”. The difference may be in either direction (toe-in or toe-out), but should be less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Adjust toe-in if necessary. (See procedure in this section.)
