i bet steering would improve if you added steering brakes, like ag tractors! simple could be tire brakes, like minibikes. A lever pivots from the chassis, in front of the drive axle, curves over the tire, where it has a flat plate to rub on the tire, and ends as a pedal, right over the floorboard. It is held off the tire by a spring, and pressing on the pedal forces the plate against the tire, slowing that tire. That works amazingly well for ag tractors, lawn mowers should have it! i bet you could drive that, even mow your yard, without even touching the steering wheel, using only the steering brakes!
Thank you for the second part of the build ,I think I can make my finish mower deck work
That's great! Enjoy the project and the mowing!

Makes sense...like a narrow front row crop tractor in reverse!
