Hi all! I have a z375r zero turn that is about 1.5 years old. The forward tracking was off a bit when I bought it new. I was able to quickly dial that in. My issue is that when reversing, the mower wants to swing to the right. Both wheels do reverse, it's just that the left one does it faster. Also, both handles pull back the same amount. I tried a YouTube and Google search, but all I could find focused on forward tracking. Thanks for any help you might be able to give!

You will go mad trying to get the mower to track strait in both forward & reverse
When ZTR's were new they had adjustments for both forward & reverse tracking
This is expensive & time consuming so they got phased out

Thanks bert! I wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't so off. I would say the left is spinning at the normal rate. The right, however seems to be the issue. Even at full reverse, it is very slow. Any way to speed that side up?

Apart from cleaning the arm at the axel end so it travels the full distance .
Some times they get crud in there
Check all of the linkages for excessive wear , replace flogged out parts .
