WHEELS AND TIRES
Front Wheel Tread Widths (See Figs. 39 and 40)
The MF 135 Standard Clearance, Vineyard, and Special Tractors have a swE;pt-back front
axle that is adjustable in 4'' increments. An exclusive feature of this front axle is that, when
adjusting the front axle width, the radius rods follow the axle extension assemblies. This
gives maximum stability at each of the desired widths. The front wheel toe-in will remain the
same after adjusting the axle to the desired setting. The MF 135 Orchard Special Tractor
has a non-adjustable front axle.
