Not sure how it happened as it is not my mower but one wheel is way out of alignment. (PIC Below) I have looked at it and do not see anything obviously bent and would like some opinions from some who are probably more experienced than I am before I just go removing parts. From looking at the parts diagram it looks like the left spindle and/or drag link would be the likely suspects. If so is there a way to check without removal and if so is there a way to repair or will they need replacing? I am thinking the left as this is the way the wheels look when the steering wheel is at the straight position. If I turn it so the left wheel is straight then the right wheel is way out and the steering wheel looks like your attempting to turn.
Thanks in advance
