I recently purchased this mower used and it seems to be inexcellent shape with only 125 hours. The only problem I have is the front wheels do not both point in the same position when the steering wheel is at 12 O'clock. With the steering wheel positioned in the position the left wheel is pointed out around the 10-11 O'clock position. I have replaced the left drag link and left spindle arm with little change. The front axel appears to be undamaged. Where else can I look for the problem

Time to check the right drag link and the tab where it attached to the axle. It's pretty standard for these to get bent and throw off the alignment on these machines.
