I put a wide front end on my W D and everything is O K except I now notice I can turn much sharper to my right than to my left. Did I "hook" something up wrong/off center?? Any help appreciated. Irv

Where the front end bolts up to the tractor the pinion on the front end meshes with a rack on the steering arm. Unless the steering wheel is centered and the front wheels set straight ahead you will have a mismatch and it will turn harder one way over the other. If you detach the assembly from the tractor you will see the two gears that must mesh properly.

Not sure what's inside a WD front end, but the problem you describe is usually due to the steering sector not being centered when the steering arm was attached.
Easiest way to tell is to remove steering arm, turn steering wheel stop-to-stop, observing travel extremes. Find the middle of the travel and remount arm straight ahead.
If the arm is attached with a roll pin (meaning only one position) and it's still off, then the problem is inside the steering box.
The gear sector should be in mid-travel when the steering shaft splines are lined up; so that the arm is also centered in travel.
