I believe i have a slight twist on my bucket arms...bucket does not sit flat unless pressure put on it. Any suggestions as to realigning...

If the rear tires are not out of balance pressure wise then one of your cross members are slightly twisted. You can check this with a straight edge. To realign it you have to cut the old cross member out and replace it. I did my dad's tractor last year.

Begin by having the tractor on a flat concrete surface and measure the center of the rear axle to the concrete. Maybe the tires don't measure the same.

What surface is your tractor on? To properly judge, you need to ensure that it's on a perfectly flat surface.

Slight, as in 1/2” over 5 ft width of the bucket, or 3”? If it’s a half inch, just use it. Whatever you’re digging on isn’t going to be that even anyhow. Basically, what problem is this “slight” twist causing, if any?
