WHEELS & TIRES
Examine wheels and tires periodically for correct infla-
tion pressures, tight wheel bolts, and any physical dam-
age that may be a detriment to tractor operation and op-
erator safety. Correct condition prior to tractor operation.
Tire Inflation Pressures
TABLE 11: Maintaining correct tire pressure will help in-
sure tire life. Never exceed the maximum inflation pres-
sure specified on the tire. If tires have deep scratches,
cuts or punctures, the respective tire should be repaired
or replaced by qualified personnel as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT: If necessary to replace any tire (s), en-
sure original tire size is used. This is par-
ticularly true on 4WD models to ensure
correct amount of front axle overspeed
(or “lead”) is maintained.
Wheel Bolt Torque
Periodically check all wheel bolt torques.
Correct bolt torques:
Front Wheel Bolts 90 Nm (66 ft-lbs)
Rear Wheel Bolts 220 Nm (162 ft-lbs)
CAUTION: Correct wheel bolt torque must
be maintained. Installation of front or mid-
mounted implements (ex: loaders, mowers)
impose increased loads and require fre-
quent checking of wheel bolts.
Front Wheel Spacing
FIG. 154: Tread widths may be varied by using the fol-
lowing methods as applicable. Tread widths are mea-
sured tire center to tire center as close to the ground as
possible.
NOTE: Make certain desired setting is compatible with
implements to be used to prevent clearance
and interference problems.
