Articulation Blocks
Each individual tire size requires a specific articulation
block to be used with that tire size.
Refer to the table opposite for the maximum
articulation angle allowed based on tire selection.
There are three possible articulation angles used on
the tractor. They are 42°, 38° & 33°. The following
information shows what each articulation block
configuration looks like. The articulation block
mounting plates are located on either side of the front
frame adjacent to the fuel tanks.
IMPORTANT: Install the proper articulation blocks on
the tractor before the dual or triple wheels are installed
on the unit to prevent any accidental damage from
occurring.
NOTE: Any tractor that is equipped with a PTO option
requires a 38° articulation block kit be installed on it.
If the tire size of the tractor requires a 33° articulation
kit, use those kits instead of the 38° kit for a PTO
option.
WARNING: IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE
ARTICULATION BLOCKS CAN CAUSE THE TRACTOR
WHEELS TO CONTACT THE FUEL TANK WHEN
TURNING. MAKE SURE THE ARTICULATION ANGLE
IS WITHIN LIMITS.
42° - The maximum turning angle allowed by the
steering cylinders is 42°. If your tractor tire size allows
an angle of 42°, no articulation blocks are required.
