Front Wheels Toe Out...

[YardMonkey]

I guess that is what you call it. It is a lawn tractor and I do not recall hitting anything with it. Looks like the front wheels Toe out (kind of point out). Is there an adjustment that can be made to the way the front wheels track? It is a crafts man 42" cut...

Anyone ever experience this?

A model number would be helpful. Look under the seat for a sticker with the model & serial number and post those here so someone can look up to see if there are adjustments on your particular model. Some are adjustable and some are not. Another possibility is that the front wheel bushings are worn and need replacing. Jack up the front end and support with a jack stand. Grab hold of the hanging front wheel and try rocking it top to bottom while feeling for excessive play. I had a John Deere come in last week with worn front wheel bushings that were so bad that the wheels pointed away (toe out) and tilted in at the top (negative camber) making it difficult to steer.

Did you look to see if there's an adjustment? There would usually be an adjustable tierod going to each wheel, or a tierod connecting the two wheels.Some tierods have a left and right thread, while others don't, so you have to disconnect one end.
