 OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting Front Wheel Tread Width

Standard Tractors

On tractors equipped with adjustable front axle, front wheels can be set in tread positions varying as shown in the table
below by moving the axle extensions in or out, as required. The axle extensions are provided with three locating
notches and are held in place by clamping bolts (1) Illust. 23.

* Factory adjustment

Reversing the wheels, i.e. turning concave disk sides

outwards will extend the front wheel tread width by an
additional 140 mm.

Tighten front wheel bolts to 15 daNm torque.

To adjust wheel tread proceed as follows:

Illust.24
1- Clamping bolts
2- Steering cylinder
3- Ball joint
4- Adjusting ledge

Jack up tractor under front axle. Remove clamping bolts

(1) IIlust. 23 and pullout spring clip (4). Loosen clamps
(3) on tie rod.

Now pullout front axle extensions an equal distance on

both sides to the desired tread position. Line up locating

2- Tie rod
3- Tie rod clamps Adjust the tie rod to conform with the tread width.
4- Spring clip
5- Steering cylinder Replace spring clip (4) and tighten tie rod clamps (3).

Tilting the Engine Hood

All major units of the tractor are arranged in an easily

accessible position.

Generally, tilting of the engine hood is only necessary

when servicing the radiator, air cleaner or battery. Pro·

5. Stop engine and allow oil to settle for approx. 10
min. Check oil level and fill up to the upper mark
if necessary.

6. Replace the oil filter every time the engine oil is

changed.
Changing Engine Oil

The new engine is filled with break·in and preservative

oil which must be replaced with regular engine oil after
the initial 20 operating hours (at the first inspection).
Thereafter, service at the regular scheduled intervals. Oil Filter

The engine is equipped with an oil filter which

continually cleans the oil while the engine is running. All
