Jack up one side of the front axle. Use a jackstand and a sharp awl to make a clean black mark on the outer middle rib on that tire by holding the awl on top of the jackstand and rotating the tire to creat the mark. Do the same on the other tire. (this creates a index mark that eliminates error in measuring) On concrete, drive forward and stop, being sure to not back up at all, not even a little. Measure from the mark on one ire, to the mark on the other at the very farthest forward part of the tire. Then measure at the back of the tire (180 degrees from the first measurement. There should be about 1/8" less distance at the front than the rear. The reason to stop while going forward is to "load" the tire in the normal direction of travel. Toein on tractors is not critical unless excessive Probably more than 1/4". If running on pavement a lot, (miles) it is important. Some times turning tha same direction all the time, especially on pavement will cause premature wear on one rib. Putting the tires on opposite sides after a year can be useful in evening out the wear. So can changing them around to run the opposite rolling direction, putting the wearing rib on the inside. Good luck, JimN
