Question Uneven mowing
My front left wheel on my ZTR 1 is uneven with right wheel. My backyard is pretty uneven with a lot of holes. I have an acre of land and after mowing for a while I noticed it was mowing unevenly. I pulled it onto driveway and my front left wheel is off the ground, spinning free. What caused this and how do I fix it? Can I just loosen the bolt that it is attached to?

First, welcome to OCC........

From here, it looks like the Front Axle is slightly bent upward on the LH side.

IN MY OPINION.........

There are several way to do this. As "one" suggestion. One could cut a slit in the front axle (Left of center) and push down until a straight edge shows no light through, then weld the slit shut.

There is always buy a new front axle too.

Not familiar with zero turns,
But does not the front axle pivot?
if so, possibly it is frozen??
or one of the rear tires not the same pressure as the other?

Much like a plow foot.. Cant you simply take bogey wheel out? apply washer under the one thats higher and reinstall?? Or is there not enough shaft remaining at top?

I would check opposite side rear tire pressure as well. I think front is fixed so low pressure on opposite rear tire would cause this as well

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
