2. Lock Steering Gear Box in Neutral Position:
2a. Remove the 1/4”-20 plug screw from the
steering gear box centering port using a 3/8”
wrench. See Figure 6.2.
2b. Thread a 1/4”-20x2” bolt into the steering box
centering port until you feel it touch the steer-
ing rack.
2c. While trying to gently thread the bolt further,
slowly rotate the steering shaft back and forth
until the bolt seats into the detent in the steer-
ing rack.
2d. Finger tighten the screw to set the screw fully
into the detent. The steering gear box is now
centered and locked.
3. Remove the hairpin clips that secure the drive con-
trol rods to the speed selector plates.
See Figure 6.3.
4. Slide the rods out of the selector plate.
5. Insert two 5/16” pins through the holes in the axle
castings. The pins should pass through the casting
down to the wheel yokes. See Figure 6.4.
NOTE: If both pins slide in, the wheels are aligned;
go to step 12. If one or both pins do not slide
in, proceed to the next step.
NOTE: The pins should slide in and out without
binding. As the drag links are being
adjusted, rock the tires back and forth to
remove the load created from the tires twist-
ing on the floor.
