• The length of the upper hitch link is normally

determined by the design of each implement.

To adjust the upper hitch link, loosen the lock-

ing lever and turn the adjustment tube as

shown in Figure 29. After the appropriate length

is attained, tighten the locking lever. If correctly

adjusted, the upper hitch link will be parallel or

nearly parallel to the lower hitch links.

Figure 29

• The length of the hitch chains, attached to each

lower hitch link, limit the side-to-side move-

ment of the lower links. Loosen the jam nut and

turn the chain’s hex shaft as shown in Figure

30 to adjust the length of the hitch chain.

Tighten the jam nut after adjusting.

ADJUSTING FRONT WHEEL TOE-IN

The front wheel toe-in is set at the factory and

should maintain the proper setting. However, the

toe-in should be checked periodically and

readjusted if necessary.

CHECK THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:

• Place the tractor on a level surface with the

wheels in the straight ahead position.

• Place an easily visible mark on the center lines

of both front tires at the horizontal center line of

the wheel.

• Measure and record the distance ‘A’ between

the two marks. See Figure 31.

• Roll the tractor forward or rearward until the

marks are at the horizontal center line at the

rear of the wheels. Measure and record the

distance ‘B’ between the marks. See Figure 31.

• Distance ‘A’ should be 0"-.20" less than

distance ‘B’ if the toe-in is correct. If it is not,

readjust the toe-in.

Figure 31

READJUST THE TOE-IN AS FOLLOWS:

NOTE: The right ball joint and jam nut are left hand

threaded.

• Loosen the jam nuts at both the LH and RH ball

joints. See Figure 32.

• Using a pair of pliers (or similar tool) to grasp

the tie rod, turn the rod as follows:

Forward to shorten the tie rod and decrease the

toe-in. See Figure 32.

Rearward to lengthen the tie rod and increase

the toe-in. See Figure 32.

Figure 32

• Readjust the tie rod as necessary to obtain the

correct toe-in, then tighten the jam nuts against

the ball joints.
