Planter / Cultivator / Wheel alignment on Ford

[dflur]

Hello All. Daviid here with a question that hopefully someone can help with or give direction. I hope I am asking in the right place.

I have a small farm that I have been planting small scale row crops for quite a few years. I want to go bigger and do more retail of my produce.

I can not perfectly center my equipment for cultivating and planting. I can change the emplements to adjust to the tractor, but I first need my wheels aligned. My tractor is a 4600 ford with spin out rims. I would like to set my tractor to plant and cultivate on 36 inch center rows. I am close to a 72 inches center to center on the tires (inch wide in the front, half an inch narrow in the back), but would like to be dead on so that I can plant and cultivate by driving on the line.

All that said, Has anyone ever seen a chart with axle/tire combination measurements? Or is there anyone out there with experience in this type of equipment and use?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

David

By spin out rims do you mean the type shown here?

Yeah, those are pretty much the same.

There are videos about how to use them. It has been a while but as I remember it you can loosen some bolt or bolts at each attachment point then drive the tractor forward or back to change the setting to what ever is desired. It allows a rather quick tread change in the field with out jacking up tractor or manhandling the tires.
