I am having trouble with my Kubota b7500 front wheels the left one is at 12 o'clock the right is at 11 o'clock. It only has 70 hour on it. I don't think I did anything to cause it. Does anyone know why?

Sounds like the toe condition is from a slipped adjuster or a bent tierod. Should be set to about 1/8" toe in. Make it so.

Bent tie rod.

Rotpup,

I would agree that you have a bent tie rod. I did that to my 7500 a few years ago...had a loader full of rocks and I drove over what I thought was a rotten log - which was not so rotten. You can remove the tie rod pretty easily. I whacked it with a sledge until it was properly shaped. This is a bit of a pain because you have to keep checking it by putting it back on the tractor or at least holding it carefully in place to see how aligned it is. As zz said, you want a slight toe in of both wheels.

ps - The sledge whack technique is probably not the recommended approach but it worked fine for me and I have never had any other problems. Good luck!

Thank you everyone, I ordered a new tie rod, when I take off the old one I will bend it to match the new one for the next time.
