Timing of the Front Hitch
Panther 460 pictured above
When examining the adjusting plates for damage or movement, look for
a broken adjusting bolt or compressed threads between the locking jam
nut and the head of the bolt. The adjusting bolts are preset from the
factory and should not be moved.
With the tractor in Park, and the machine sitting
on firm level ground, remove the front hitch pin.
Raise the machine to see which way the front
hitch moves. Release the pressure and
determine which mainframe front cylinder has the
shortest stroke. Then, loosen the adjustment
plate bolts and move the plate towards the front
hitch, no more than one full turn at a time for
proper adjustment. Repeat process until the front
hitch stops shifting, or little to no movement is
noticed.
The adjustment plates must be examined for
damage or broken threaded adjusting bolt. Also,
check for compressed or smashed threads
between the locking jam nut and head of the bolt.
A leaking mainframe front cylinder can also
cause the front hitch to get out of time. One
problem related to hitch timing is the inner and
outer wings will raise slower than the opposing
side. Never adjust the adjusting bolts more than
one full turn at a time.
