6.1 REPLACEMENT OF TYRES AND WHEELS
A) Tyres
The tyres used are of the «Tubeless» type and so
every repair of a hole in the tyre must be done by a
tyre specialist according to the methods used for
this type of tyre.
After replacing one or more tyres or the wheels, it is
always necessary to check the pressure and to
check the alignment of the cutting deck [see 4.6].
WARNING
Replace distorted wheel rims as they could impair
the tyre’s hold.
B) Wheels
The wheels are held by a snap ring (1)which can be
removed with the help of a screwdriver.
NOTE
If a wheel is jammed onto the shaft, use a releasing
spray directing around the splining hole.
When reassembling, smear grease over the shaft to
help the next time the wheel needs to be removed;
reposition the spacer washer 
(2)and the snap ring
(1)with the rounded edge facing inwards.

➤In mechanical drive models: engaging the
parking brake.  
➤In hydrostatic drive models:loosening the
nut 
(1)of the stretcher. . 
Unhook the spring 
(2)and lift the steering column
(3) just enough to be able to draw out the pinion(4).
A) Dismantling steering pinion and ring gear
Unscrew the nut (5)and take out the whole ring
gear shaft 
(6)after dismantling the tie-rod (7).
To dismantle the ring gear 
(6), take out the split pin

First screw down the nut (8a)without fully tighten-
ing it, so that the cup washer 
(11)can fulfil its pur-
pose, that of allowing rotation without free play but
sufficiently freed from the ring gear. Then fully tight-
en the locknut 
(8b)and insert the split pin (8c).
Reassemble the pinion and the ring gear shaft, lin-
ing up the two reference points  ( 
➜- ) punched
on them, and making sure that the notch 
(12)on the
frame slots into one of the housings in the bush.
With a new pinion and ring gear it will be necessary
to fit 2 blocks 
(13)of 0,8 mm code 22672150/0
between the ring gear bushing and the frame.
Put the whole assembly back together in the
reverse order, bearing in mind that it is best to
attach the ring gear before the pinion, and fully
tighten the nut 
(5).
➤In hydrostatic drive models:  tighten the
spring of the stretcher [see 4.4]. If only the front
nut 
(1)has been loosened without having
touched the rear one, the right tension will be
achieved by just tightening up the nut 
(1).
B) Lower bush replacement
Use a universal socket wrench to unscrew the two
screws 
(14)that fix the plate (15)and remove the
spherical lower bush 
(16).
On reassembly ensure that the bush 
(16)is fitted
with the protuberant part upwards.
Refit the plate 
(15)without tightening the screws
(14).
Align the pinion with the crown wheel [see 6.3.A]
and insert the end of the steering wheel column 
(3)
in the hole in the spherical bush (16); fully tighten
the screws 
(14)after having checked the correct
alignment and regular rotation of the steering wheel
column.
When reassembled ...

Check the steering geometry [see 4.8].
