John Deere Riding Lawn Mower Front Wheel Alignment Issue - No Weld Easy Fix

This should work on multiple models with drag links that are not adjustable, just be sure the drag links are similar diameter. Die used is 5/8-11 for cutting threads.

Now you have two reasons to buy a vise!

[@TheMowerchanic]

Ain't that the truth 😂

[@eddieespinosa8743]

Great video thanks

[@TheMowerchanic]

you bet, thanks for watching!

[@magarj]

It might be easier to bend or straighten the bar depending on how you want to adjust the alignment. (if one got bent it could be the cause of your alignment issue)

[@TheMowerchanic]

Yeah for sure. I couldn't get enough leverage to bend it without a vice

[@PapaMav]

Awesome suggestion. Thank you.

[@robcole332]

How smart was that. Sure cheaper than buying an adjustable one

[@dand3975]

That was a nice fix. You need to set the toe in - to 1/16" to 1/8" and check the camber on the front wheels with a digital protractor, same as the d.i.y. automotive front end alignments.

Fine, but use cutting oil.

[@TheMowerchanic]

Yeah that definitely helps. I didn't use any cause I didn't want the vice grips slipping lol

[@thurm101]

Nice.

[@ztzozm]

Too bad I wasn't smart enough before I bought adjustable rods.

[@davidbower6019]

Did it to mine already.

[@TheMowerchanic]

nice!
