FRONT QUICK ATTACHING LATCH
This latch is used for front and center mounted
equipment. Refer to the equipment manual for
proper instructions.
FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN
Tie rod and drag link ball joints.
The front wheel toe-in dimension is approximately
1/8-inch closer in front than in the rear. To
measure for proper toe-in, make a chalk mark on
the centerline of each tire the same height from the
ground as the front wheel hubs. Measure the
distance between the marks "A", then rotate the
tires so that the marks are toward the rear of the
tractor, the same height from the ground as they
were in front. The dimension should be approxi-
mately 1 18-inch larger at the rear. See "B."

To adjust the toe-in remove one ball joint, loosen
the lock nut "c" at the ball joint and turn the tie
rod ball joint in or out as required.
TURNING RADIUS
The front wheel should have an equal angle for left
and right turns. If adjustment is necessary, remove
ball joint and loosen lock nut "0", turn the drag
link ball joint clockwise or counterclockwise as
required.
