Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. A lady from my church asked me if I could adjust the steering on her Husqvarna zero turn before mowing season this Spring.
She says to keep it going straight one lever is out in front of the other. I have a Gravely home owner zero turn and there is 4 stop adjustment bolts to use.
I don't know what model her mower is. I haven't seen it yet but I do know it is a home owner and not a commercial and it came from a box store. Any tips or ideas about how to adjust the control arms would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Way back when ZTR's were new there were adjustments on the forward & reverse of both control arms.
Then to cut costs it went to one side only
Then it got dropped all together
With most now days the only adjustment is the flat chat forward speed.
Some have multiple points to set the control rods in thus changing the sensativity but even those seem to be vanishing from domestic machines.

Because they use multigrade oil you have to run the drives for at least 1/2 hour to make sure the oil is at operation temperatures.
