Abstract
A stop mechanism for selectively varying the turning angle of an agricultural tractor is disclosed. The stop uses a series of limit tabs, one or more of which may be positioned between two abutments on a knuckle and yoke to provide a number of discrete adjustment points for the turning angle. The tabs are fixed to the steering components, readily movable to a position between the abutments, and semi-permanently attached to the tractor thereby allowing quick adjustment of turning angle without the need for loose parts.
