Abstract

See full text

A steering mechanism for a tractor having a transverse axle with pivotally movable steering wheels and a laterally shiftable chassis is disclosed wherein a first tie rod interconnects the steering arms of the opposing steerable wheels to couple the movements thereof and a second tie rod interconnects the chassis and the first tie rod to couple the laterally shifting movements of the chassis to the pivotal movements of the steerable wheels. The second tie rod is selectively re-positionable to the transverse axle to disassociate the lateral shifting movements of the chassis from the pivotal movements of the steerable wheels, thereby allowing a selection between a compound steering operation and a conventional-type simple steering operation.
