Heavy-duty Front Axle

  1. Park machine on a flat, level surface.

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

  3. Measure center to center distance between front tires at the hub level in front of the axle. Record measurement and mark the tires.

  4. Move tractor back about 1 m (3 ft), so mark is at the hub level behind the axle. Again, measure distance between tires at same point on tire. 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. The difference would be in either direction (toe-in or toe-out), but has to be less than 3 mm (1/8 in). Adjust toe-in if necessary. (See procedure in this section.)
