I have a Husqvarna GTH2448T that has a bad toe out problem, completely worn the front tires out. I removed both drag links and compared them and they seem in good condition. If this is not the problem what is it?

Anything from the bushings on the steering gear to the bushings in the steering spindles, to bent drag links to a slight flex in the frame to wear in the axle pivot can cause the issues that you are seeing. When they went from the tie rod type steering with the single drag link to the dual drag link steering toe out issues have been a pain to correct, and a bigger issue for the mower owner. It allows the mower to make have a shorter turning radius but fighting that alignment issue is ongoing.

So if it is the bushings, drag link replacement would solve? I suppose I can try to adjust the front spindles with the old crescent wrench and pipe method

Would it be very difficult to modify these drag links to be adjustable?

Do a web search.
Down here there are a couple of people who market an adjustable drag link.
To work properly you will need two of them.

Down side is for the same price you can buy all of the previously mentioned wear parts.
