I have a case 310 utility tractor and am looking fro advice on how to adjust front wheel so that both are pointing strait forward. Right now the left points left and the right straight forward.
I have service manual I purchased on e-bay but there was no section about the front end in the manual. Looks like it was removed at one point.
Anyway I would like any advise you could hep me out with. This is a utility model with solid front axle. Thanks for help
Chuck

Thanks Joe, I had forgot to mention that it was a power steering unit. Looks like it could be adjusted by shortening front drag link on power steering arm and adjusting rear drag link to make it longer. If this is incorrect or there are other steps to adjust please let me know.
Thanks
Chuck

Yes Chuck, you have it now. Helps to get everything centered when you have a power steering cylinder.

You may have to lift the front tires off the ground for this first step pending how strong your PS is.

1. With the engine running, turn your steering wheel to position the steering arm under the booster for & aft centerline of the tractor. If everything is assembled properly in the steering gear box, the steering lever pins will now be centered lengthwise in the worm gear. The drag link that connects the above steering arm to the hyd cylinder valve will center the cylinder in what will be straight ahead steering with the hyd valve in neutral.

2. If the left front tire is not straight ahead, disconnect the hyd cyl tie rod end at the spindle steering arm, straighten the tire ahead and then screw the tie rod end in or out to match the mounting hole in the spindle steering arm and reinstall.

3. Now you can adjust the right front tire with the tie rod behind the axle. The tie rod ends are left & right hand thread like a turn buckle so you normally only need to turn the center tube to lenghten or shorten it.

Assuming you do not have a power steering hyd cylinder, the drag link between the steering arm under the bolster to the drag link arm on the front of the left spindle is non-adjustable.

Turn your steering wheel until the left front tire is straight and then adjust the length of the tierod behind the axle to line up the right front tire.
