I would wager you could eyeball it and be well inside of the ball park. I look on the outside never thought to look at the inside I will give that a try 8) I moved my shop in 1992 never set my alignment machine up in new shop I still use the turn tables and steering wheel lock to get them in the ball park for the drive to the alignment shop. A local alignment shop does not replace parts he may do a tie rod end that's about it. He is so busy he does not have the time nor will tie up his bays for suspension work he sends them to me. I do everything I can to make life easier on him :wink: I make sure everything is broke free and adjustable even take things off so he will have a clean shot at camber/caster adjustments.
Starting from scratch I would run the tie rod ends on haft way and count the turns I would be aware of how many turns I had to turn it out to get the toe set. If I had ran them in 20 turns I would not want to run them more than 10 turns out to get it set up on either side. I would probably re-do the settings to get them back to center it may take 30 turns in. If one side is in all the way in and the other way out someone missed the splines on the steering gear are something is bent. I tell the alignment man were I am at he can determine if I am OK.
All in said and done it should turn from center equal both ways.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
