If this is your front end, I'd say you probably bent the linkage rods. 61 & 62.
Most alignments start with the steering wheel centered, bring the closest wheel in to alignment, then work the other one in. Again, on these the links often get bent.

There's a few things that could be wrong the first simple thing is to check the bushings in the wheels while you're at it look at the spindle for where a lot of times those spindles will bend sometimes you just put a piece of pipe over them you can bend them back

SOURCE: front wheels of our riding lawn mower

Most front ends for riding lawn mowers, need to be greased. In addition to this, most of the rims for the front tires, have a nipple for a grease gun, which also need to be lubricated.

Is there a larger steering wheel that fits Husky YTA19k42 mower? Standard is approx 12" diameter.

Have you tried a steering wheel handle? Small knob that fits to a steering wheel which saves having to grip the wheel. People with dexterity difficulties use them on cars here in the UK, here's a video of one from the US

LOOSE STEERING WHEEL

use a knife blade to pop the center piece out of the steering wheel. under it you will find a large nut and a washer. Tighten it and the steering wheel will be tight again. Joe
