I have a Encore Hydro FC420V 48" 17HP Kawasaki WB that is pulling to the right. What might be the problem. Just bought this mower and really do not have a past history of it. Any thought? Greatly appreciate it

You need to adjust the tracking. This is an adjustment that needs to be made periodically on all hydro drive machines. I wish I could tell you exactly how to do this but I'm not familiar with Encore walk-behinds. Better get out the manual.

Might be tire pressure also, a real low tire will give it a pull.

Definately check the tire psi but if you just bought it take it back to the dealer. Also since its new you should still have your owners manuel so check that for adjustments

I actually bought this mower at a low price. It came from a friend that was getting out of the business. He didn't have any manuals, but yes one tire was low. I'll check it out in the morning and repost. Thanks for all of your help

When I purchased my Scag it wasn't tracking right. It turned out to be that one of the tires was 1 ' inch larger diameter than the other (at proper pressure). I have never seen anything like it. New set of tires and the problem was solved.
