Wheel alignment adjustment
Max toe-in: 2 mm
The adjustment is performed with the wheels fitted on
the tractor, on the ground and straight, with the
suspension in medium position.
The measurements between the wheel rims are made
at the height of the wheel horizontal axis, on the edge
of the rims, between the two X points.
- Apply a marking on these points.
- Measure the dimension A between the X points.
- Push the tractor forward to turn the wheels by one
half-revolution (front axle declutched) and measure
the dimension B (between the same X points).
- Adjust the rods on the steering joints uniformingly in
order to obtain A = B or A = B + 2 mm max.
- Torque tighten the locknuts o
