All you can adjust is toe-in. The steering knuckle is welded to the front axle so caster and camber are fixed.
If toe-in was the problem, BOTH tires would be wearing the same.
Adjusting toe won't make any difference, actually might make it worse, because the tires have to be in certain orientations for the tractor to drive straight. You adjust the toe, that will change the position of "straight" on the steering wheel slightly, and you're back to square one.
With as few hours as it has I doubt your pins and bearings are worn, especially only on one side. The only explanation is the knuckle is welded to the axle housing crooked, and there isn't a thing you can do about it.
We've got a CaseIH Maxxum 2WD that burns the outside edge off of one front tire. It drives perfectly straight if you center the tires and let go of the steering wheel so the alignment isn't off. The right steering knee is crooked and there isn't anything we can do about it except rotate the tires. Swap them side to side, flip them on the rims. First set lasted 22 years without any of that, but the right tire was worn right down to the cords on the outside edge, while the left tire was worn evenly.
