How do you align tractor wheels?
When facing the tractor, the wheels should be parallel to the tractor’s longitudinal axis. Camber angle is the angle between the vertical axis of the wheels used for steering and the vertical axis of the vehicle. The wheels must be perfectly vertical to the ground to ensure that the tractor grips properly.

Why are front tractor tires tilted?
Originally Answered: In a tractor, why are the front wheels in a tilted position? Tractors have positive camber. The reason for this arrangement is to provide lower steering effort. In race cars, you can observe negative camber which helps in providing better grip during high speed corners.
How much toe in should a tractor have?
You want to have 1/8″ toe in so the front is 1/8″ narrower than the rear. This is the same procedure I used on my lawn mower up to my car, of course on a car you to set caster and camber too. My car steers good and has even tire wear.
How do you adjust the steering on a MTD lawn tractor?
Pull the steering wheel up and off of the shaft. Turn the steering wheel so the center bar on the steering wheel is horizontal to the front of the MTD lawn tractor wheels. Slide the steering wheel back on the shaft and screw the center nut back on tightly. Snap the cap back over the center of the steering wheel.

Why are old tractor front wheels at an angle?
Why do the front tires on my tractor appear to be off center? The front wheels are intended to have positive camber (toe-in). The positive camber or “toe-in” is generally used in vehicles for off-road use. In such vehicles, the positive camber angle helps to achieve a lower steering effort.
Why do the front wheels tilt on a road grader?
They have Adjustable Leaning Wheels [that] the operator can lean in either direction to lean the weight of the grader toward and balance the weight against the side load of earth on the blade—the heavier the load, the more the operator leans the wheels and weight of the machine.”
Why do tractors have weights on the front?
There are several important reasons for using ballast on tractors. Tractors and combines often have to add weight to accommodate horsepower imbalances. Adding weight where required will improve traction and reduce slippage.
