The front right tire is wore down smooth and the left tire was fine but now is wearing down fast. I realize there's toe in/out. Mine toes out about 2". Having the tight turn steering there has been a few times when running it I would be turning tight and hit a rut or hole that would jerk the tractor to a stop jamming the front tires all the way turned. Everything looks normal but could I have damaged something to cause the tires to wear as fast as they did? I would like to replace tires but fix the problem first.

You might need new axle, and wheel hub bushings to correct the toe.

is it possible to replace the front axle, drag link etc. with a normal system and get away from the tight turn tech? Not a big fan.

you can replace it. Or you can just weld two stops on so it won't turn so tight

(( cowboy up and get over it ))

Toe problelms of 1/8" on a car will chew tires to nothing in a short time. Same for tractors?
