        2004 Iron Horse 284.  The front wheels are designed to have a positive camber.  The one on the right side sure seems to be leaning out more than the left, and shows abnormal wear on the outside edge of the tire. There is no adjustment for this and the assembly is made from cast housings, so it doesn't seem like anything could be bent.  I just had it completely apart to replace oil seals, with no change.  Any advice on this?  Thanks a lot.

          You are correct, you cannot adjust it, thats the way the housings are cast.Air pressure will also make the tires wear different, make sure you have the same amount of Air in each front tire

            Thanks for your reply, Tommy.  I will check those tire pressures right away.  When I stand dead center in front of the tractor, at some distance, I swear the top of the right tire is canted out more than the left one is.  I'll try to make some measurements too.  Do you happen to know what the angle is by design?  I tried to do some measurements on a flat bench, just on the castings during a repair job, and it looked like about 3 degrees.
