My Ford 9N tractor isn't steering right. It pulls to the right and I have to hold tight to the steering wheel in order to drive straight. Any idea how to fix this?

Could also be a bad or over tight wheel bearing.

Probably a silly thought but I will pass it on. Your front tires are approximately the same circumference; width; and air pressure aren't they? You might also want to jack it up to take all of the weight off the front end and make sure your steering gear doesn't bind on full turns.

YOur mileage may vary

Stupid question but is the tire pressure ok/same with both front tires?

Check your toe-in.

Check you toe-in. It is probably not correct. You can measure this with a tape measure. The front of the tires should be about 1/8 - 1/4 in less than the rear of the tire. (Measure the front wheels at 3 and 9 o clock.)
Happy Motoring

Sounds like you might have a brake hung up. Jack it up and see if your right rear wheel turns free.
