Rusty, The center line of your front axle is under the steering gear box, which is not center of the engine and drive train. The rear wheel adjustment is relative to that imaginary line from front to back. IH made it easy tho, in that when adjusting the width of the rear wheels, they will always be the same distance to the center line if they are mounted on the dishes exactly the same way both right and left. The dishes are the wheel parts that bolt onto the rims. The right hand dish ( looking from back to front) is cast steel and is thicker than the left hand dish which is pressed steel. The cast dish is heavier to compensate for the fact that the engine and drive train is offset from the center line. this gives the tractor the proper balance. The rear wheels will actually adjust further in than the front. With the rears adjusted all the way in, the front wheels will track along the outside edge of the rear track. you can make adjustments in 2 inch increments and therefore make 2 or 3 adjustments outward with the rears before you would lose tracking path of the fronts. Generally, you like the fronts to track either center to center of the rear wheels, or have the fronts set along the inside edge of the rear wheel track. I hope I'm not confusing you more than helping you. Good luck, and if you need further explaination, don't hesitate to post back.
