Hind sight says mark them before removal. However here is my thinking. On concrete, or nice flat whatever, straighten out the wheels as best as you can by eye. Then take a pair of straight 2X4s studs ~8' long and Lay them on the ground near the outside of the front tires. let one end of each rest on the ground near the back tire, and lift the other end (with it flat in relation to the ground) and position the 2X4 so it touches the front and rear of the front tire . Then set it on a stand so that it stays up against the tire. Do the same for the other side. Measure between the 2X4s and adjust the front wheels until they measure about 1/2" wider at the rear of the 2X4 near the back tire than they do just behind the front wheels. This gives about an eighth of an inch of tow in. Make sure they are very close to the same distance away from the center of the tractor, measured at the back. this may take 15 minutes of messing around. Less with two people. Then, with the arms off of the splines, turn the steering wheel all the way left and put tape on the top of the steering wheel to mark it. turn all the way right and count the turns, and partial turns. Divide that number by 2, and turn the wheel to that position. Be sure this is correct by checking it twice. Loosen up the draglinks so they turn easily and without moving any wheel, or the steering wheel, adjust the links so the arms female splines slip on the male shaft splines. If all parts are tight, this is basically done. if loosish, then toein may need some messing. Drive forward on concrete/pavement and stop up against two bricks (this keeps the front wheels pushed backwards) then measure the tow in as above. if it is off, reset by adjusting both tierods the same amount. Tighten all clamp bolts and drive away. JimN

Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
