Well, got the other part fixed for the wide front and got it on today. All I have left to do is install the tires/wheels, tie rods, and adjust them and unblock it and then I can go put my loader on. As far as setting the toe in/toe out on a tractor's wide front, what do you guys usually set it up as? I used to do it on the race car's with the tires about an 1/8" toed out.

Rear wheel drive you want toe in, how much depends on the slop in the spindles, the steering arms and the tie rod ends. 1/8 to 1/4 is typical for a farm tractor. Closer to 1/4 than 1/8

I would say 1/8-1/4 inch toe in.
