Articulation Blocks
Each individual tire size requires a specific articulation
block to be used with that tire size .
Refer to the table opposite for the maximum
articulation angle allowed based on tire selection .
There are three possible articulation angles used on
the tractor . They are 42°, 38° & 33° . The following
information shows what each articulation block
configuration looks like . The articulation block
mounting plates are located on either side of the front
frame adjacent to the fuel tanks .
IMPORTANT: Install the proper articulation blocks on
the tractor before the dual or triple wheels are installed
on the unit to prevent any accidental damage from
occurring.
NOTE: Any tractor that is equipped with a PTO option
requires a 38° articulation block kit be installed on it.
If the tire size of the tractor requires a 33° articulation
kit, use those kits instead of the 38° kit for a PTO
option.
WARNING: IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE
ARTICULATION BLOCKS CAN CAUSE THE TRACTOR
WHEELS TO CONTACT THE FUEL TANK WHEN
TURNING. MAKE SURE THE ARTICULATION ANGLE
IS WITHIN LIMITS.
42° - The maximum turning angle allowed by the
steering cylinders is 42° . If your tractor tire size allows
an angle of 42°, no articulation blocks are required .
