I couldn't stand it so I stopped at Sears to check the tie rods on the new machines. I see they do not have adjustments (threaded ends) like our older machines have. But I'm thinking that the current emphasis is on making sharp turns so maybe the radical toe in is by design. They look workable to me. But now I'm remembering a Sears 20HP twin I bought used a few years back and the bugger wouldn't turn. If I wasn't careful the front wheels would just skid - like it didn't have enough weight on the front wheels - but it had that monster 20HP twin up front so it should have had enough weight. Anyway, it aggrivated me enough that I sold it pretty quick.
