I would buy or build a adjustable front end so you can try different angles to make it handle better. Weight preload on front left tire ,seat position and so on make a mower handle. George H has a good post on here explain it. Basic setup.:)

Thanks for the reply I'll take a look at that if I. An find it LOL
I just thought my front tires are hard rubber, would that be the reason I can't turn? Could the hard rubber have no grip with the ground and the mower not turn?

Take a look at the build section and look at squidds "another ap question" thread lots of good info there
