HEAVY-DUTY CARRARO FRONT AXLE WITH
INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
Tractors with the heaviest type of Carraro front axle
with independent suspension must be fitted with a
special wheel angle sensor bracket (Figure 32). This
type of assembly requires a wheel angle sensor with a
much wider range (180°) in connection with the larger
wheel turn (blue coloured wheel angle sensor). The
wheel angle sensor should be mounted at the right
sight behind the front axle of the tractor (Figure 31)
Required parts:
180° wheel angle sensor
Wheel angle sensor bracket
M8 threaded stub with nuts
2x M8 ball joint
Carraro front axle wheel angle sensor bracket
Carraro front axle tie rod bracket
Method of mounting:
Install the wheel angle sensor to the bracket.
Mount the bracket to the front axle.
Set the arm of the sensor approximately 20
degrees off center (
). This means that
the ball and socket joint of the wheel angle
sensor are flush with the ball joint of the
control rod. This in order to prevent, when fully
to the left, the arm of the sensor and the
threaded rod with the ball joints scissors with
each other.
Cut the threaded rod to measure. The ball
joints are center to center 180mm long. Fit the
clamp to the tie rod and the threaded rod with
ball joints.
After mounting check the mechanism by
steering fully left and right.
