Had to replace the right front spindle. Now the front tires appear to be out of alignment. Any secrets to re-aligning the front end. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what happened to my earlier post, but I did this, and toed the wheels in 0.25" by measuring between the right and left front rims at the front and back of the rim at the same height as the axel. This is "by the book" and real easy if you have someone to hold the other end of the tape. I took her out on the gravel and wound her up to 4H top speed and she was just fine. Brent

I have a '45 9-N ford, the front end has an access hole for a hand crank.This "hole" is a round piece of steel fitted into a round sleeve that both sides of the front end connect to, but it looks as the steel has slipped towards the front of the tractor making the front tires bow out at the bottom and in at the top. I dont know how to fix this problem or if it is actually a problem at all. any and all help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Rick Luebbert

Bill..... 8N3006-A Front Axle Assy RH has a witness mark used for alignment.

"loosen the lock nuts on the drag links and turn the turnbuckles with the plow wrench until the steering arm slot is aligned with wheel alignment marks top outside edge of spindle housing" From the Ford Tractor Operator's Manual p/n 3729-52-C.

FWIW..... ..Dell
