Century 3045 mfwd toe in

[spangler]

Hi folks, wondering if anyone else has aligned their century or branson tractor? Book says I need 52.5 inches center to center but tractor is binding up when I turn. I adjusted one side out 2 turns and it seems to track better but now outside wheel is jumping a little bit. It's not binding as bad as before though. Should it leave a track when it turns. Seems like inside tire is fine but outside is out no matter which way I turn.

Here is a picture from a service manual for my tractor but should work for any tractor really.

My Operator Manual has a VERY slight difference for toe-in on 4WD vs 2WD. If you use 0.25" you should be just fine.

Thanks guys. Left wheel fell off. 3 bolts holding splined hub to axle broke. That started the ball rolling for an alignment. Turned one ball joint out 2 revs and things are looking much better.

Been a few hours in the field and little road travel... tracking great! Thanks again.
