Craftsman riding Mower has lost its turnig radius.
Original Message   Oct 1, 2006 3:10 pm
I have a craftsman'98 Lt100 riding mower, and it is supposed to have an 18' turning radius.  My mower cant even come close to that at all.  I have greased the wheels and still have nothing.  the mower just seems to want to go forward instead of turning.  Can anyone help?

I've seldom seen a tractor that turns as tightly as its advertised turning radius usually boasts. Of course, zero-turning machines are an exception! If its REAL BAD, Jake is right. Hit any trees or curbs recently? You may have bent something...

Check tire pressure in front tires and try adjusting the pressure to the required press. ? If to mutch back tires will over power the front tires and slide the frontend. If to little pressure tires will roll under and then the back tires will over power the front and slide the front tires. Just a guess?,,?Good luck C/ya, Shadowface.
