3. The entire seat and suspension assembly can be
moved forward or backward by removing four bolts
(Fig. 30, item 3), and reposition the entire assem-
bly. Two bolts must always be used on each side.

The spring tension of the seat suspension can be
varied
to

WHEEL TREAD ADJUSTMENT
The rearwheels can
be
adjusted from 55 1/4" ( 1403mm)
to 75 1/4"
(1911
mm) in 6 different positions. the front
wheels can be adjusted from 57" (1448mm) to 84"
(2134mm) in 7 different positions.
Generally, the rear wheel tread is set first to fit the job
at hand, then the front wheel tread is set accordingly.
In row crop work and for harvesting, weeding, mowing,
etc., it is advisable to have the outer walls of the front
and rear tires in alignment
or
as close as possible. In
plowing, it is better to have the inside walls of the front
and rear tires aligned.
The following diagram will help in wheel tread adjust-
ment. The diagrams shows the maximum and mini-
mum settings for the 2460 tractor. As noted above,
there are 6 different positions with in the A and B range
for the rear tires and a total of 7 different positions
between C and D for the font tires. Following these
guidelines will make the desired application easier to
25
obtain. Any other variation from these listed will make
the tractor hand in an unusually irate manner and may
cause some very noticeable handling problems while
in the field.

The rear wheel disc can be mounted on the hub with
the dish in, for narrow tread patterns and with the dish
out, for wider tread patterns.
The rim lugs can be mounted on either side of the
center disc. In addition, the rim lugs are offset to one
side of the rim which makes it possible to install the
wheels with the tire's center on either the inside
or
outside of the lugs.
To reverse this relationship of tire center and rim lug,
the wheel can be moved from one side of the tractor to
the other without turning it around.
NOTE: The tread on both tires must always point in the
same direction, and the tires must rotate in the same
direction
as
the arrow located
on
the tire. This means
that the tire must be mounted on the opposite side of
each rim.
