JD 2240 Adjusting the toe in

[klittle17]

Just put on new tie rod ends on the front on the tractor and measured the toe-in and have a 1 in. difference from the front of the tire to the back on the tire. Front is one inch more than back. I went by the book to adjust out by turning the rod out with the big bolt out of the clamp and the measurement did not change. What do I need to do to correct the toe?

Move the tires by hand until it is about right,then adjust the tie rod until you can put the bolt back in. It is only threaded on one side,the notched side is just going to slip.

The method I used to adjust toe on wide frt when I worked for a JD dealer was turn tube on tie rod,insert bolt and then measure toe in. If incorrect toe in then readjust until I got around 3/8-1/2 inch narrower in frt that at rear of tire measured in line with the spindle.

That's about right. Don't worry too much.
