Liking the belt and suspenders approach to keeping your pant up. Auto return and pedal.

I took the tractor for a test drive yesterday before work.  If I go full speed down the hill on the road next to my house the spring can't overcome the force from the transmission and the pedal won't return to neutral.  Other than that it seems to work pretty well.  I can't install a stronger spring without the pedal being too hard to push .  For normal use the setup I made should be fine.  Still a work in progress I guess.

Maybe a combo of two springs at different angles?

One to get it moving off of the “full deflection” position and another to have it pull the rest of the way into neutral.

      How Do I Stop Eaton Burps
      By Bill D
      How can I stop this?  Never did it last year.  This year it won't stop.  Second time this spring.   My other 416H doesn't do it.   Thanks.

      Hydro Linkage Travel Issue
      By Bill D
      My 199X 416H can't reach top speed.  The cam plate hits the arm where it attaches to the transmission as shown in photo #1.  Does anyone know why this happens on some tractors and not others?  Is there a way to fix it without grinding something down?
       
      Photo #2 shows my 1994 416H which has full linkage travel and can reach top speed.  I don't see an obvious difference between the two.
       
      Thanks for the help as always.

      Hydro Hose Change
      By Bill D
      Can I change the hoses on my GT1800 without draining the transmission?  Thanks.

      Drive belt length.
      By Bill D
      I have a GT1800 that I have swapped an M14 into.  The original drive belt is too long for the Kohler.  I tried a 7473 belt and that was too long.  I'm guessing I need an 81" belt.  Does anyone know for sure?  I'm thinking it should be the same length as a 314H?   I'm trying to avoid multiple trips to TSC with the price of gas.  Yes, I do have the correct hydro pulley on the Kohler.  Thanks.

      Hydro lockup. Problem?
      By Bill D
      I've got an Eaton 1100 in a GT 1800.  I noticed that it pushes quite easily after it had been sitting and not running for awhile.  The manual says the transmission should lock up when pushed, but this one doesn't.  I've had it running and it does move okay.  It will lock up if you try to push it right after you shut it off?  It hasn't been running in a month, and now it pushes easily.  Is this normal or do I have a problem?
