Abstract:
A side strut for a lower steering arm of a tractor, comprising:a single-action hydraulic cylinder with a piston and a cylinder housing; a setting unit including a hollow cylinder with a longitudinal axis; a rod-shaped setting element adjustable in the hollow cylinder along the longitudinal axis between a moved-in and a moved-out position, a threaded bore in said setting element centered on the longitudinal axis and starting from a second end face projecting from the hollow cylinder; an actuating lever attached to the end of the setting element projecting from the hollow cylinder; a first holding element attached on the outside to the end of the hollow cylinder removed from the cylinder housing, said actuating lever being brought into an operational relationship preventing rotation of the setting element relative to the hollow cylinder and enabling a relative adjustment of the setting element relative to the hollow cylinder along the longitudinal axis; and a threaded rod adjustably received in the threaded bore of the setting element, and a second holding element secured to the hydraulic cylinder, said second holding element holding the first holding element non-rotatable relative to the cylinder and relatively adjustable along the longitudinal axis and in a position deviating from a fully moved-out position of the piston, the second holding element non-rotatably holds the setting element.
