B7100 HST foot pedal

[orwell]

Hydro foot pedal won't go back to neutral without help. Does anyone know if this is spring loaded ? maybe a lubrication problem.

Look under your floorboard where the pedal attaches. There might be a zerk fitting there. I'm not sure about your model but my B26 and other models have a zerk on the HST pedal.

Underneath the floor pan you will find a roller that rides in a v shaped plate. This is the forward/reverse/neutral system for your tractor. Things get jammed in it. The roller comes off the plate etc.
there is an eccentric bolt adjustment on the left side accessible from the side. There is also a bolt that secures one arm that may come loose. Access through filter cover removable. And, as you will see, a spring that may have come off.

Mine was never very good at going back to neutral, in spite of lubrication and adjustments. As I recall, I isolated the issue back to play in the input shaft on the tranny.
