I have an m5111 l that pulls to the left. It has done this from the day I bought it brand new. My nephew just purchased a new m511l and he has the same problem. The tires have the same pressure, but you can't go more than 60 ft before this thing pulls to the left. Any ideas what can be done to adjust this?

Not the M5 WSM but here are some possible causes that are listed for the M6060/7060. I hope you get it sorted since that's way too nice of a tractor not to have it working perfectly.

Tire pressure or tire size, even same size rating tires can be different sizes.
Toe in or even toe out will make them wander but it normally will wander both directions.
A Bad seal in the steering cylinder can do it, but 2 of them doing the same action sounds very odd.
Is it doing the same thing with different operators?

View attachment 123760 the toe in is what I was thinking could be the problem.

The toe in was what I'm thinking the problem is. I'm going to keep the two wrenches on the tractor to adjust the toe in well I'm using it to see if I can solve the problem. Thank you.

My next step is going to be bleeding the steering circuit if I have to.
