Saw other videos on bending them back and thought to myself "hey, why not weld a gusset on there". Great job. Thanks. There is also a mod to install bearings at the bottom of the knuckle to allow it to steer easier.
Mine is still like new yet and in perfect alignment, but I'm going to take it apart and do this mod for sure! No sense in waiting till it's bent. The tie rod ends need an upgrade too.
Send that permanant fix to Craftsman please. I have a '96 model with the same damn problem . Twenty years is too long to keep doing the wrong thing for the Craftsman customers. Imho
I have a Craftsman KT 725 with a 22 HP Kohler engine. I have a front right tire wearing badly. Manual says that the toe-in is not adjustable. So is this the fix for one of those type riding mowers(7000 series)? If so, I could probably handle the bending part and if the repair to your second wheel is involved, I could get my son's father in law to make me a bracket since he's a semi retired welder. But if there's another fix for my model, do you have any suggestions? Thanks. Good video BTW!
Hello a question,I ordered the piston for my mower and I received two one is standard and one oversized,what’s the difference and whichvone I need to use
Probably the standard bore Piston will fit. Why are you changing it? The oversize piston is probably 0.010inch oversize. It will not fit unless you bring it to a machine shop that work on there motors. They will machine the right size bore to match the oversize piston.
@@WeekendHobbyMechanic Because I by the mower from somebody with broken engine,when I open the engine the piston rod and the piston I found cracked in a half and the cylinder scrached too much
Waaaaay too much work. The problem isn't those spindles bending anyway it's the tie rods simple fixes remove the tie rod from the spindle drilling new hole towards the front insert the tie rod back in and you're done. I've done a gazillion of those I never had anybody come back.

It looks like a brand new OEM part. Beautiful, why doesn"t craftsman add this brace on all its new tractors or at least offer it as an upgrade.
Because they are in the business of selling mowers 🙂
Cost cutting
Well done with the proper tools and PPE.
I hate these Comments shoved over to the side bar. Stupid.

If you want to do a quick fix, take the wheel off. Put a piece of pipe on the spindle shaft & push forward.
nice job my wheels are horrible - runs well tho
My Husqvarna had a mild toe in from the factory. I bent the linkage rod instead. 🐀🐾
👍
Great video. What's the tool you're using to remove the wheel dust cap? Thanks!
Hairdryer or propane touch to heat the cap. Then any hook to pull it off the retaining washer.
will this fix work on an OLD simplicity mower?
It should….
How much would you charge if I wanted you to do the same to mine?
$150

You can remove the wheel, put a piece of pipe on it & bent it back in position and run it like that.
Is it a yts4000 thing? Same problem with my yts4000... coincidence
Same machine. Just use a pipe wrench on the arm. It will bend back in place.
is that actually a Husqvarna made tractor branded Craftsman
Yes, made by Husqvarna.
