6. Check the drive control linkage. See Figure 5.7.
6a. The travel limit pin fits into the curved slot in
the drive pedal latch plate. The pedal
bracket should have enough travel for the
pin to hit both ends of the curved slot when
the pedal is moved through the full range of
its travel.
6b. Some lost motion is built into the linkage so
that there is a “dead” range as the pedal
moves from neutral to reverse.
See Figure 5.8.
• This dead spot allows the reverse safety switch
to act before the tractor actually begins to move
backward.
• It is normal to have 1-1/8” play at the Forward
pedal or 1” play at the Reverse pedal in this
dead range.
6c. The most likely causes for additional lost
motion that would effect the ground speed
of tractor are: See Figure 5.9.
• The drive pedal itself being loose on the bracket.
• Worn plastic bushings between the drive pedal
bracket and the brake cross-shaft.
6d. If the tractor makes drive noise or creeps
while the pedal is in neutral, but seems to
have lost speed in just one direction (for-
ward or reverse):
• The rod connecting the pedal bracket to the arm
on the transaxle may be bent, changing its effec-
tive length. See Figure 5.10.
• The transaxle neutral control may be out of
adjustment. See the Neutral control adjustment
section of this chapter.
