FRONT WHEEL POSITIONS
Use the following procedure to position the front
wheels to obtain the desired track adjustment:
1. Position the front wheels straight ahead.
2. Apply the park brake and place blocks at the front
and rear of the rear wheels.
3. Jack up the front axle and place on jack stands.
WARNING
With a front wheel on a four wheel drive tractor
supported on a stand, never attempt to rotate the
wheel or start the engine. This may cause the rear
wheels to move, resulting in the tractor falling
from the stand. Wheels should always be
supported such that the tires are only just clear
of the ground.
4. Remove the front wheel.
5. Position the wheel disc and rim as required to
achieve the desired track adjustment.
6. Reinstall the wheel and torque the hardware in a
diagonal pattern to the following:
Disc to hub, 1. -- 700 N·m (515 ft.-lbs.)
Disc to rim, 2. -- 345 N·m (255 ft.-lbs.)
NOTE: Torque all rim, disk and wheel bolts as
specified. Operate for 200 m (200 yards) and
retorque. Repeat torque check after one hour, then
at 10 hours or daily intervals until bolt torque remains
constant. Check torque at 50-hour intervals
thereafter.
NOTE: When interchanging left- and right-hand
wheel assemblies, ensure the “V” of the tire tread
remains pointing in the direction of forward travel.
7. Check the front wheel toe-in and steering stops
for correct adjustment.
NOTE: During a full turn, check for possible
interference between the UltraSteer front tires and
the tie-down brackets shown on page 1-28.
