are the arms that come out of the steering assm. offset, the arms come out of the steering assm at different angles when 1 is straight down the other is pointing back and that wheel is also kicked in when the other wheel is straight
 
If I understand your question correctly, the answer is "no" they should be straight down when both wheels are straight ahead. If not, the steering needs to be "timed" which is explained in the manual.
 
You can adjust the arms by unhooking the tie rods from the arms and turning the steering wheel until you run off the end of the gear inside and then position the arms opposite of each other and turn the wheel back to center. They should be both straight down. You might need to do it a few times to get it right.
 
Here is a picture of the inside of the steering housing to help you understand how the parts work.

If you do what Ralph says then you migh find the gears do not re-engage the steering column pinion gear. This is caused by the gear slipping out board as seen on the right side of the picture. The gear gets hung up on the side load stop (the big screw/bolt on the side of the housing) and does not rotate. To fix just push the steering arm back tword center until the gear clears the stop.

The stops are there to help keep the steering teeth engaged in operation. Unfortunantly the stops are not visible in the picture.

I have never had any problem with the stops as long as you do not push in on the arms after you run off the end of the gears. I have had the problem of the arms being out of phase when working on steering and someone comes along and spins the steering wheel. Nice picture Jeff.
 
When I was taking the one below apart, I ran the arms to the ends and could not get one side to re-engage. Though I screwed something up.

Turns out it is hard to really screw anything up on these machines. The arm just slipped outboard a little. Pushed it back 1/8 inch and all was fine. But it did have me scratching my head for a day. Just pointing it out.

Another thing he can do is loosen the side screw slip the gear outboard and re-synchronize and then tighten the side screw down. (probably easier than pulling the tapered drag links off the arms.

[b:e2185f73e4]Weim[/b:e2185f73e4]. I don't think you are explaining your problem correctly.

I suspect there is nothing wrong with your steering box unless you've had it apart, which it appears you haven't.

Turn the steering wheel until both steering drop arms are pointing downward. If one front wheel has toe in or toe out, adjust the steering drag link ball joint.

Sorry, not explaining myself very well. Let me know if you want a better explanation.
 
I am prob not explaining myself right, I did not have the steering apart I was plowing heavy snow with a front mounted plow when I started to have steering issues when I parked the tractor one wheel was toed in a lot.

I checked the front end for play and I could feel play in the radius rod at the foot rest.

also When the left arm that comes out of the steering box? is pointed straight down the 6 o,clock position the right arm is points to the 7 o'clock position and the right wheel is toed in.

I did not have this issue until the last snow storm we had about 6 inches of slush and the tractor was having a hard time pushing it. I hope this is a better explanation of what my issue is
 
You will be able to get both arms pointing downward as both arms turn in opposite directions. Turn the steering wheel until both arms point downwards.

If you have tow in or toe out when both drop arms are pointing downwards, I think your problem is something is not right in either of the drag links from the drop arms to the front wheel "steering arm" (can't think of the correct name), or a tie rod end.
 
fixed it after taking the whole box apart I adjusted the gear stops in to make up for wear on the back of the gears.
