How to Remove the Tie Rod

How to Perform the
Tie Rod Toe-in Adjustment
Perform this procedure on a
firm level surface. Block the
non-steering tires and be sure
that the machine is in the fully
stowed position.
1 Measure 15 inches (38cm) up from the ground
on the front and rear of each steer tire and
make a reference mark at the center of the tire.
2 Measure the distance from the reference points
on each tire: Front to front and back to back.
3 Center a jack under the steering axle, then
raise the machine.
4 Loosen the jam nut on the adjustable end of the
tie rod.

5 Remove the cotter pin, then remove the clevis
pin from the adjustable end of the tie rod.

change in the front to rear
measurement.
7 Slide the tie rod onto the yoke. Install the clevis
pin, then a new cotter pin.
8 Tighten the jam nut against the tie rod.
9 Lower the machine and recheck the front
and back measurements (step 2). If further

through 8.
