pfrederi 20,532 #3 Posted Friday at 01:52 AM Make sure the metal tab on the left end of the shaft (bolted to the hoodstand) isn't broken or the bolt missing. (#24/25) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 56,585 #4 Posted Friday at 01:52 AM (edited) This guy here is what sets the friction. There was ones with springs over the top of the plate that set the tension on the plate. Some tractors do not have that spring. I thinks Lowell has the replacement plates. I know he has replacement cam plates. Check that for wear too.

I know he has replacement cam plates. Check that for wear too. The big spring on the cross shaft provides the resistance to the motion control. The little springs back on the slider were only used on Wheelamatics... (875-1275 vintage tractors.) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim.0 43 #9 Posted Friday at 04:04 AM Thanks for replies. I will give it a look tomorrow. I bought this mower few years ago sat in a persons shed for years never ran. I brought home worked on it and brought it life. Runs good. One day I was backing up and the control lever went to full forward on its own. Something gave. Knocked me over backwards out of seat. and the mower off it went and stopped on top of old drag i have. Banged my head and back little sore luckily I didn't get real hurt. I put the mower away been meaning to fix it. There seems to be no tension on the control lever. Just goes to fast forward. Almost like its spring loaded. Thanks for replies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By that description, I'd say that tab Paul mentioned probably broke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 2,326 #11 Posted yesterday at 12:17 AM As a side note, the friction collar doesn't do it's job if it's lubricated. I believe it should be clean and dry 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim.0 43 #12 Posted 7 hours ago is 82 suppose to move inside 80? Thanks trying to figure how it works. I ad justed works better. I dont think it is working the way it should. Thanks again Yes i sprayed a bit penetrating oil and shouldnt have to clean it up some. Go back over with some brake clean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim.0 43 #14 Posted 2 hours ago so my assembly really needs be taken apart to work proper . the friction cone and b2 move together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
