Until someone figures out if the front end is going to get replaces or repaired, I started on figuring out what is wrong with the old one. I noticed that the right front tire's caster was way off and the tires were wearing badly. The caster came back when I jacked the tractor up, so that is sag in the tubes. The tractor had about 5" of toe out, no wonder the tires were peeling. It had the wheel dropped in a whole about a year ago, and had several things on the right wheel replaced. I did not do the work, but was assured the toe in was set. It looks to me that either the tie rod arm or spindle is twisted. I believe the spindle was replaced, so that leaves the arm.
Has anyone seen these twist?
