Usually the cross link between the 2 wheel spindles bends- bows upward. They are inexpensive, but then again can be bent back and will hold there shape until the next wack where they bend even easier. Good for a temporary fix though.

Major mis-information!!! I hope someone reading my post above continues to this one... I went to the Toro dealer today to pickup my ilder pulleys and found that the Toro person on the phone screwed up! Part 7451 is the pulley on the deck, not the idler out at the front of the tractor. I was very specific in describing the part I was after but the person on the other end of the phone was not reliable. Part 7451 is indeed about $13, but the idlers for the front of the tractor that redirect the mower drive belt from the PTO back to the deck pulley (did not get Toro part number from dealer today) were $27 each! Not only was my v idler shot but the square idler was on its way, so I had to buy both. The belt had seen better days so I bought a new one. The belt was $25 and I was about $88 lighter on the way out the door. Ouch. But, I got home, installed the new idlers and belt and she sounds so much better. My wife deemed it worth the money. The old v idler was really screamin. I would love to get another 20 years out of this machine it is certainly built solid and the parts are available. Hopefully I don't need them to frequently!

Unless you have adjustable steering links coming off the stub axles on each front wheel you are SOL. The omission of adjustable steering links is one of the cost cutting features of both the Sears LT/GT and Husqvarna LT/GT. I have never seen adjustable steering lings on any of the contemporary Sears LT/GT although I suspect the $6000 Simplicity/Sears GT may have them. If your steering is out enough to bug you you might have bent a link or a stub axle on one side. Another thought if you have a Sears with some hours on it... the entire steering mechanism is poorly designed and can wear quite a bit blessing you with sloppy steering.

I like his front end better! lol Cute dog, he looks like a sweetie!
