How do you aline the front wheels on a craftsman riding mower?

such information is usually given in your owner's manual. If you do not have one, contact sears or visit their parts website...

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.

Sometimes it is quick and cheap to fix, other times not so much. if you have an older one- many times the crosslink that runs between the two wheel spindles simply bends into an arch- rather then being straight across. The model from below the seat would at least let us know what style you have.
