Abstract
An oscillation stop mechanism for use in conjunction with a compound steering mechanism adapted for use on a compact tractor is disclosed wherein an elongated stop link is positioned on opposing sides of the steering axis about which the pivoted axle rotates to effect a compound steering action as a function of the amount of steering movement of the steerable wheels. The elongated stop links are provided with upper and lower cupped flanges that are engageable with corresponding upper and lower brackets affixed, respectively, to the chassis and the front axle to stop the pivotal movement of the front axle about its oscillation axis. The upper flange on each stop link is positionally adjustable along the length of the stop link for selectively varying the linear distance between the upper and lower flanges and, thereby, vary the amount of permissible oscillation of the front axle relative to the chassis.
