Bought a used Murray wide body 42'' cut 17.5 hp riding mower. One front wheel is leaning outward like the rod should be shorter to pull the wheel in. There is no adjustment. How can I get the wheel alignment correct?

- Neither side has adjustment. Both sides are solid rods from the steering mechanism to the wheel with a small slot on the end that attaches to the wheel. Not like my ATV's that have threads to adjust the tie rod ends. I can loosen the bolt in the small slot & line the wheel up but when I move the mower, the wheel toes out. Crazy.

- I thought that too but both rods are identical with the identical bend in them. They have the same bend in them as the parts diagram I looked at. I guess my only choice is to replace both rods. Thank you for your help.
There tie rod ends on those rods that can be adjusted,if you see no visible threads than you may need to adjust the other side to match the one tha looks like it is swung out ,maybe it is swung in.

- If there is no adjustment then the rod is bent,replace it or staighten it until the wheels line up.

I have a John Deere X300 garden tractor. When going into reverse the deck blades stop cutting unless you pull up on the switch. We have no little kids so safety is not an issue. How do you get around this? It's very aggravating!
