Steve, Did you replace the front extensions in the same side from which you removed them? If you swapped ends, then you could very well have a positive caster or rake to the spindles. Normally, they tend to wear just the opposite in that the spindles, after years of use will begin to move toward the rear as they have on my 40 A. Either way is not anything to become alarmed about unless it is radical. The optimum position for the spindles, front to back, is of course, straight up and down. This can however be influenced by the tire configuration. Smaller front tires relative to the rear suggested matching size will cause the front end to dip and the spindles rearward, Larger front tires relative to smaller rears will do the opposite. It doesnt have anything to do with the spindle position relative to the frame of the tractor, only to the ground. As to fuel lines, they were steel from the factory, but most owners replaced the steel with copper since copper is much easier to bend and forgiving so as to make the line fit to the fittings. Also I find that the ferrules seal better on copper than on steel, which will require less tightning to prevent leaks, but thats only my observation.
