SECTION 2 - OPERATION

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.
