2001 B2910 pedal issue

BubbaJr · Dec 11, 2009

Hi Guys, I haven't been around much in the last couple of years, and I see a lot of new names now, and that's great.

Now to my problem. My pedals don't center very well any more. It seems like it is a little bound up whether I am depressing the forward pedal or the reverse pedal. I have about 1100 trouble free hours on my tractor and this isn't a big issue, just a little aggravation which almost turned into a big problem when I almost ran into my barn. Last summer I took off the floor mat and found a very small area where I could squirt some WD-40 onto the linkage under the floor. It was the only way I could find to get to it. I should mention that I have the FEL subframe in the way.

Any suggestions on how to get to the linkage at the transmission without removing the floor itself?

Thank you,
Joe

I know most of us just grab the WD-40 can, which has its usages, but just a quick word to say there are superior products and better products for most of these applications.

Just a quick list might include Break Free, the spray moly lube cans, spray lithiums, etc. These pivots points do indeed need periodic lubrication. BTW, is there not a grease zert on that pivot?

I guess I didn't explain my issue very well. Yes there is a zerk on the pivot shaft, but that's not where the problem is. It is where the linkage connects to the hydrostatic drive unit. At the time I was able to get to that linkage, my can of WD-40 was within reach, that's why I used it.

My question, is there an easier way to get to that linkage without removing the floor? Removing the floor would entail the removal of the dash and all the panels around the floor.

Thanks,
Joe
