Steering Wheel Tilt Adjustment
WARNING: Do not adjust
the steering wheel when the
tractor is moving. Adjusting
the steering wheel while the
tractor is moving could
cause the operator to lose
control of the tractor.
To allow for the comfort of the
operator, an easy to operate
adjustable steering wheel is a feature
of this tractor. To adjust the steering
wheel forward or back, push down on
the steering wheel tilt lock lever and
either push or pull the steering wheel
to the desired position. Once you have
found a comfortable position, release
the steering wheel tilt lock lever.

inch less than B. See Figure 13.

ball joint jam nuts. See Figure 14.
Turn the tie rod in or out of ball joints
