c161 automatic keeps going faster

Recommended Posts

I have a c161 with the automatic hydro.  Everything works fine, but the lever moves forward on its own and you can't keep a constant speed unless you hold the lever.  Is there an adjustment somewhere to tighten up the lever to keep it from moving on its own?

 

Thanks

This service manual is from the same era as your tractor.

Section 5 page 5-4 describes the motion control friction adjustment.

Loosen the lock nut (Yellow Arrow) 1-1/8".  then tighten the threaded shaft (Blue arrow) it has 4 flat areas use a 5/8" wrench. Then re tighten lock nut.

My 1966 1276 has the auto but the spring mechanism in the controls shown above are not on my model. My dads 67' 877 has the same problem. Im assuming they added the spring tensioning feature due to this problem. I cant seem to find one for sale or any other solutions to the problem. Any advice would be great

two springs to center it ? or something to rub up against? C-1something5 has a springy leafy thing to hold center and help hold set speed.
