    Question:
    My RZ5424 ZTR pulls to the left. I turned the adjustment knob counter clock wise as far as it will go and it still pulls to the left a little. How do I correct this?

    Hi

    Thanks for contacting the Answer Army to post your questions.

    I have searched our systems and there are no Service Bulletins for this type of failure. You may want to take the unit in to a service center and see if one of the wheel motors is going bad or just not pumping enough to follow the other one.

      I got mine on 3/22 and am seeing the same problem. I got it from Sears and the tech said thats the best it will do. His answer was the only way to test it is if the ground is perfectly flat. Im not convinced that is how it is, I read some where that this may be a common problem and there is an adjustment for it on the hydro transmission. The tech may not know how to do it so that is the reason for his answer.

      I may end up sending it back. Anyone else experience a pull to the left or right even with the tracking adjustment. Seems like if you compensate for the pulling via the lever the tractor slows down. Seems to me if its pulling then the speed on one of the wheels isn't timed perfectly.

      Mine has the same problem.  Only 70 hours on it.  Can anyone offer a fix (other than taking it in for service)?

       

      Thanks
