slammer302 2,154 #3 Posted September 15, 2016 I would say that ur linkage for the motion control needs sum maintenance. I would try to find a replacement for the cranking plastic piece. If it's the 5996 speed control cam thier is a new one on eBay for 18$ I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveoman1966 3,624 #7 Posted September 16, 2016 Aside from the 5996 cam you MAY have a issue with the tab weld at the end of the control linkage shaft. If broken, the shaft will move almost at random...independent of the motion control lever. You should also look for cracks in the frame plate where it bolts to the front of the transmission. If really bad, the tractor with flex at that point, allowing radical movement of the cam 5996. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
