TOE-IN
ADJUSTMENT
1.
Locate the riding mower on a hard level surface preferably concrete. Place front wheels
in a straight ahead position.
2.
Make sure the front tire pressures are equal.
3. The front tires should show a mold part-line which coincides with the centerline of
the tire. If the centerline of the tire is not readily visible, then the wheel can be raised
off the ground, spun and marked at the approximate centerline location.
4.
Measure the distance between the tire center lines or the chalk marks.
MEASUREMENT "A" MUST BE 1/8 TO 3/8-INCH (3 mm
TO 10 mm) LESS THAN MEASUREMENT B. BOTH MEA -
SUREMENTS - FRONT AND REAR MUST BE TAKEN AT

5. Loosen both jam nuts on each drag link and turn rods equally.
6. Turn the tie rod in or out of the ball joints as required. Retighten the jam nuts when
correct toe in is obtained. One ball joint has left hand threads and the other right hand
so it is unnecessary to disconnect it from the king pin lugs. Turning the joints off the
tie rod increases the toe in. Turning the joints on the tie rod decreases the toe in.
