247203704 Craftsman Lawn Tractor

Hi John, thank you for reaching out. Park your lawn tractor on a hard, level surface. Set the parking brake and disengage the mower blades. Place bricks behind the rear wheels of the lawn tractor. Remove the spark plug wire from the spark plug and set it aside so that it will not touch the spark plug. Remove the plastic cover over the center of the steering wheel, exposing the 3/8-inch lock nut. Use the ratchet with the appropriate socket (3/8 inch) to remove the lock nut and flat washer beneath it, exposing the steering wheel adapter. Adjust the front wheels so that they are pointing forward. Use your hands to move the wheels into position. Move the steering wheel so that the crossbars are horizontal. Place the flat washer over the steering wheel adapter. Secure it in place with the 3/8-inch lock nut. Tighten the lock nut with the ratchet and 3/8-inch socket. Reconnect the spark plug wire to the spark plug. Remove the bricks from behind the rear wheels. Test-drive the lawn tractor. If the steering is still not correct, adjust the wheels and steering wheel again. We hope this information helps!
