TO ADJUST STEERING WHEEL
ALIGNMENT
If steering wheel crossbars are not
horizontal (left to right) when wheels are
positioned straight forward, remove
steering wheel and reassemble with
crossbar horizontal. Tighten securely.
FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT
Front wheel toe-in is required for proper
steering operation. Toe-in was set at the
factory and adjustment should not be
necessary. If parts in the front axle or
steering mechanism have been replaced
or damaged, check toe-in and adjust if
necessary.
TO CHECK TOE-IN -
1. Position front wheels straight ahead.
2. Measure distance between wheels at
front and rear of tires (dimensions "A"
and "B").
• Front dimension "A" should be 1/8" to
1/4" less than rear dimension "B".
TO ADJUST TOE-IN -
1. Loosen jam nuts at adjustment
sleeves on tie rod.
2. Adjust tie rod until dimension "A" is
1/8" to 1/4" less than dimension "B".
3. Tighten jam nuts securely.
FRONT WHEEL CAMBER
The front wheel camber is not adjustable
on your tractor. If damage has occurred to
affect the front wheel camber, contact a
Sears or other qualified service center.
