D17 wide front questions

Finally getting around to getting the wide front on my D17 series 4.   Got the narrow front off no problem.  Was putting the arm on the bottom of the steering bolster that the tie rods connect to.   When I bought this wide front, the guy that I got it from said there was a bad weld on the splined piece where it connected to the flat piece so before he painted it, he touched the weld up.  When I went to put it on tonite, I had the front wheels pointed straight ahead before I took the narrow front off.   When I went to put the wide front tie rod piece on, the pin hole in the middle on the bolster was pointing left/right almost perfectly 90 degrees to the tractor.   When I put the other piece on that the tie rods connect to, it was running on a 45 degree angle.   I turned the steering wheel all the way to the left and then all the way to the right which is four revolutions, so when I come back to the center, which is two turns, the pin hole is at a perfect 90 to the tractor again.   Could the piece that the tie rods connect to have the splined piece rewelded in the wrong location?   If I am thinking correct, when the steering wheel is centered, the two holes where the tie rods connect to should be straight back towards the transmission, right?   I can take a picture of the piece when I get back tonite so everyone knows what I am talking about.   I just dont' want to cut the whole thing apart without verifying that I am doing the correct thing.   I will have to wireweld it by my dad's tomorrow night at the earliest anyways.  Thanks for any help. 

Ran out and took a pic of the underside of my D-17 SerIV.Hope this helps,never took one apart.I need to learn more as my narrow front SerI needs work.

the pin & hole should be aligned widthwise with the tractor, not front to rear.  (think about how it has to be removed)

Excellent photo Gatz,I think that confirms your thoughts Chuck,looks like the collar got welded in wrong location.
Thats what I like about this site,seem to learn a little more each time I come on here.
Good luck Chuck

Gatz is right about timing. It only applies to a P/S tractor though. It's really obvious what's involved in putting one together. What you're doing is setting it up so the hydraulic cylinder is in mid stroke when the wheels are straight ahead.
