STEP 1
Park the tractor on hard level ground, engage the
park brake and stop the engine.

wheels are off the ground and the steering is free
to turn through the full range LEFT AND RIGHT.
STEP 3
Mark the inside front of the rims at the tyre/rim
interface and at the same height as the centre of
the hub.
STEP 4
Measure the distance between the rim edges at
the front (dimension A in the diagram).
STEP 5
Rotate each wheel 180 degrees so that the
marks are at the rear, at the same height as the
centre of the hub.
STEP 6
Measure the distance between the marks at the
rear (dimension B in the diagram).
STEP 7
Subtract the front dimension (A) from the rear
dimension (B), this is the toe -in measurement.
