left-hand front axle knuckle.

Remove drag link.

1. Position drag link so openings in ends engage balls on pitman arm and
steering arm.

pins to secure.
3.15 ALTERNATOR
The alternator requires no special care except to keep the drive belt properly
tensioned. It is not a user-repairable item.
If you suspect a problem with the alternator, most alternator problems can be
traced to one of the following causes:
• Battery or battery connection fault.
• Loose, dirty, or corroded alternator connections.
• Broken wires to alternator.
• Slipping drive belt.
NOTICE! When welding on the tractor, disconnect the battery to prevent damage
to the alternator.
