SINGLE, DUAL AND TRIPLE WHEEL
INSTALLATION
The tire configuration charts detail single, dual
and triple tire configurations by model. Find the
tire size and configuration to be used on the
tractor. Determine the proper installation
procedure from the five methods of wheel
installation detailed below.
CAUTION: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
REMOVING AND HANDLING WHEELS. USE
A CARRIER FOR HANDLING WHEELS.
CAUTION: STOP THE ENGINE AND
ENGAGE THE PARK BRAKE AND
ARTICULATION LOCK BEFORE WORKING
ON TIRE INSTALLATION.
CAUTION: BLOCK THE WHEELS OF THE
TRACTOR WHEN JACKING UP THE AXLES.
1. Single wheels
Tire configurations approved for single wheel
use (both a tie rod style rim and a drum-style
rim) may be positioned with the dish of the
wheel inset or outset depending upon the
operator’s choice.
CAUTION: WITH THE WHEEL INSET, THE
TRACTOR WILL BE LESS STABLE ON
HILLSIDES. FOR HILLY TERRAIN, IT IS
RECOMMENDED THAT THE TIRES BE
OUTSET.
Torque the wheel mounting nuts, 1, to 710
N⋅m (525 ft. lbs.).
REMINDER
All wheel mounting hardware should be
re-tightened to the specified torque after the first
hour of operation, then after every three hours of
operation for the first day. Re-tighten to the
specified torque daily until wheel hardware
maintains specified torque.
