Front Wheel Alignment
I thought I could make a tight enough left turn on my 42" 19.5 craftsmen tractor mower. Of course it did not turn out that way and the front right tire hit the fence. I feel that the alignment is completely off now and when I try to make a right turn, the front right tire is severely rubbing against the gauge wheel on the deck. When I turn left it is as if one wheel is turning and the other is almost being pushed on its side. Any thought on how to fix this problem without contact Sears? I have researched a lot and come across bent axels and tie rod problems. Please help. TJR
