I replaced the tie rod ends on the pilot and I tied the steering wheel straight so I’d be easy to measure from the center point without them moving. Long story short I realized that the book gives a length for them and I could just measure them to that length and be good we’ll that worked out good for one side but not the other. The one side was way off, I eventually adjusted and measured and good it right but any ideas why one would be ko there than the other?

Nice job getting the wheels set. These machines are getting up there in age and have so many reasons as to why the measurements would be off. Just to name a few, the tie rod itself could be machined differently, the frame is tweaked, the a arms are tweaked, the spindle is tweaked, you started drinking when you started and by the time you set the second one you were no longer holding the smart end of the tape :shock: :-) . It a good thing we use these machines off road... I'm sure most of them are not tracking straight anymore.
Regards.

Lol, I was getting pretty confused... but that makes sense I know I’ve rolled it couple times so that probably doesn’t help the cause
