Front Axle - Front Wheel “Toe-in” Check
In the event of the tie rod setting being interfered with,
then it is necessary to adjust the TOE-IN. Before measuring
and adjusting the TOE-IN, ensure the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position and the front axle is not tilted.
After adjusting the front wheel tread and with all
connections secured, the front wheel Toe-in shall be as
follows,
Measure the distance between the outer edges of the
wheel rims at the same height as the hub caps. Mark the
point measured and turn the wheels half revolution so that
the marked points are at the rear. Measure again the
distance between these two points and this distance must
be the same as measured before without variance. To adjust
the TOE-IN shorten or extend the tie rod clockwise or
anti-clockwise.

When the TOE-IN adjustments have been made
the tractor should be jacked-up and the axle
tilted to its maximum tilt position. In this
position the wheels should be turned to the full
left-hand lock and at this angle the welded stop
on the steering knuckle pivot pin sleeve should
be hard against the stop on the steering
knuckle.

Preloading Bearings - 2WD
When replacing the front wheels it is essential that bearings
are pre-loaded properly. To ensure this the nut 'B' should be
tightened up while the wheel is being revolved until it
stops. Slacken off the nut upto the first pin hole where the
washer is free to move and place the split pin. It is advisable
to leave the bearing (E) in place and clean with a brush and
solvent. Before reassembling the bearings, repack the rollers
with new grease.
