I have recently purchased a 1965 MF 165 and when traveling down the road in high gear the front wheels wobble in and out very rapidly i changed the tie rod ends but that did not help at all any input would be appreciated.

Thanks Tom

You need to find a new dealer. If the tractor is in good shape it will not do that.

Try toeing the front wheels in a little in front that will usually take care of that problem They should be a 1/4 inch closer in front than in they are in the back.

Are the rims bent, wheel bearings really loose, tires out of whack? Jack the front end up and spin the tires by hand and see what happens...just some ideas....
