Hello, my name is Steve. I have a John Deere G110 that has front end problems. Both of my front tires point outwards from the frame. I have already replaced both spindles and the spindle connection rods. I figured this would fix the problem but it hasn't. I am almost thinking there is too much play in the actual steering mechanism.
Any advice or links to help or information on this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

After what you have replaced there isn't much more left. So something has to be worn out. Spindle bushings? loose wheel bearings? You might get some adjustment by redrilling the tie rod holes. I really can't see why the steering gear would affect this problem.
John Deere Model G110 Lawn and Garden Tractor Parts You may need to replace complete front axle kit, I would scotch back wheels, jack up front end & place jack stands under frame, remove parts & inspect everything keeping all parts in order for left & right sides. Inspect front axle for excessive wear at spindle locations, look for cracks also. Let us know how it goes, thanks.
Yes I replaced the whole front axle. As far as the tires tracking, they are fine from top to bottom, it is front to back. If you can picture what I'm talking about the front tires look pigeon toed.

Your front wheels toe-in. If nothing is worn out and everything is tight. Just the way the tractor is made its not adjustable. You will have to make it adjustable by modifying the two tie rods from the steering gear to the steering arms. You will have make them longer or maybe by modifying the mounting holes. I can only picture in my mine want you have and its hard to give a good answer without seeing it. I had the same problem on a Wheel Horse years back now and as I recalled that is what I did was make the tie rod shorter ( different design then what you have)
