Paul summed it up pretty well. Everything tight and perfectly aligned.
However, just to add a little to the discussion, some brands of gears are more prone to weaving just because of the steering geometry.
My neighbor has two Killbros 375 wagons on Killbros gears. I have two killbros 375's on Westendorf gears. Both are in the same age range. His wagons trail much straighter than mine, and he lets me know about it. He's the kind of guy who likes to go fast.
Then I borrowed his wagons and tried backing them in the shed. It was then that I found his wagons with the Killbros gears to have slower steering response than my Westendorf gears. The Westendorfs are more nimble in tight spots but they are also more nimble at speed, which is not good.
I'm not knocking or promoting any brand. It depends on how you intend to use your wagons. Some are just designed a little different than others and if you happen to have a gear that's not designed to handle speed you never will get it trail straight. Jim

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
