How do you adjust the steering drag link on a riding mower?

Answer:
Some of the new models have threads and lock nuts on each end. Loosen the lock nut on each end. Take a ruler (the folding wooden ones like carpenters use is best) and measure the distance between the front tires on the front side of the tires. Now measure the distance between the front tires on the back side. The back side should be about 1/4 inch wider. The drag link is made so when it is turned it will adjust both sides at same time. Recheck measurement. If OK, tighten lock nuts.
