Tire pressure can be a factor in pulling to one side. A bent axle, or spindle might also cause the symptom. Toe in is less important but a factor to set toe in jack on wheel and use a nail to scribe a line on the middle of the tread(use a jack stand or block to hold it steady while marking the tire/rib. Then do the other side the same way. Let it down. Roll the tractor forward a bit to put the tires in there running location (don't let it backup any or it won't work) then measure between the scribe marks at the front of the tires and at the rear of the tires. front should measure 1/8-3/16 less than rear. The scribe marks take out the tire and wheel mount irregularities)

For the bent axle issue, put then tractor on level concrete (or evenly tapered front to back, but definately level (with a level)) and use a level to assess the camber (how much the tire leans in and out from vertical) and caster, how much the front spindle leans back from vertical. You are not interested in a specification, you are interested in having the two sides the same. The camber should be positive (leaning out at the top about a half inch from top of tire to bottom) and the caster should be leaning toward the back about 1/4" on the hight of the spindle. Good luck.
