CAUTION: Rear wheels are heavy. Use care
when moving them. Make sure the tractor is
blocked securely. Tighten all wheel bolts se-
curely and recheck after short period of op-
eration.
NOTE: Agricultural lug-type tires must always be in-
stalled so when viewed from the rear, the “V”
pattern of the tread points upward.
Steering Free-Play
FIG. 156: Steering system should be checked for ex-
cessive looseness as indicated by steering wheel free-
play. Maximum free-play is approximately 30 to 60 mm
(1-1 / 4 to 2-3 / 8”) when measured at the outside of
steering wheel rim as shown at “X”. Excessive free-play
can be caused by:
• Loose or worn ball joints
• Worn or damaged steering column shaft
• Worn or damaged power steering unit (if equipped)
CAUTION: Excessive steering free-play
must be corrected before use. Contact your
ISEKI dealer.
