adjusting hydro position?

[barnmedic]

Hello all, thanks for all the months of info and discussion about things tractor. Finally took the plunge and bought a used 1995 B2400 with 351FEL, 60" mmm, and 60" Landpride brush hog and rear tiller. It is in good cosmetic condition and starts/runs just like the new ones. It has just over 1000 hrs and had just one owner before me. I am having a blast!
So far, I have only one concern about it and wondered if any of you knew of an adjustment or fix for it that a shadetree mechanic could perform. The hydro seems to prefer a slight reverse position when letting off of the pedal. This can be quickly remedied with a tap on the forward end of the pedal, but it doesn't settle in the center or neutral position of its own accord usually. Is there an adjustment that can be made? I ordered a shop manual but it hasn't come in yet. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Yes, there's a simple adjustment to the various springs to recenter things, but it's best explained in the owners/workshop manual so I'd suggest waiting until you get the book then follow that.

There's also a common problem with hydros not recentering that's related to poor greasing and the damper on the control. You might want to check these too.

Thanks Hayden, I will wait for the manual... even if it kills me. I hope you are able to spend quality time with your tractor... good luck with your business venture, but try to keep things in priority! Rob
