Bent Chassis?

I rescued a 17 hp Toro Wheel Horse. Got everything to work very well but has an annoying (doesn't effect mowing performance, deck adjusted to compensate) twisted look when viewed from the front.

So far haven't found where the twist actually is - assume chassis.

Thoughts & suggestions on a fix will be much appreciated.

The fix would depend on the twist location. And could be different depending on if the frame is twisted at the front axle, the back axle, or if it was grabbed at the ends and the whole thing twisted.

Thanks ILENGINE

Twist seems to be between seat and front axle but hard to be sure, without a complete dismantle. Could be in body or in frame or both.
Have no idea of how someone could do this but did come from a very hilly/steep property and owner seems to have been somewhat rough on the poor thing (needed lots of minor repairs).
It's not a burning issue, as mower works well & does a good job (deck adjusted to be level with ground).

Nobody replied because how/why would you repair a twisted mower frame on an old Wheel Horse mower probably 30-40 years old?
