pfrederi 20,526 #3 Posted 18 hours ago 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) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 56,574 #4 Posted 18 hours ago (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.) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim.0 40 #9 Posted 16 hours ago 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.

By that description, I'd say that tab Paul mentioned probably broke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
