Sounds like you need needle bearings in your differential.

put more weight on the front to keep it down so you can steer

If it's consistantly one side, it could be a bad bearing or a brake dragging. If it's either side it might be in the spider gears. Have you jacked it up and spun the tires?

Check and make sure the rims are matched. Mine are a litle off which makes one ire just a little taller than the other. Also make sure the hubs are the same distance from the tractor. It does"t take much to throw the center off. Hitch needs to be in the center of the tires as well.

Unless your having trouble with one wheel pulling and the other not then your spider gears are probably not the problem. Now if your digging in one one side and not the other then I would check them

I have tryed several different sets of tires ,mounted, so I know its not tires, wheel, rims ,or distances. If you ever driven a regular farm tractor with factor diff lock, that what it acts like , wants it gets a mind of its own ,and changes directions,steering, brakes ,etc, you cannot change it back to go straight

Just like drag racing, space the rear end as narrow as possible. the wide stance gives the tire more leverage to push the front to one side or other,,try it

You said you have changed air pressure, but have you staggered the air. Drop one side by a .5 pound to a pound and see if it helps. My second MM had to have 1.5 lb in the left more than the right to go straight.
