This may be a strange question, but is there a way to adjust the "stiffness" of my forward and reverse pedals? It's not a big deal for me, but the wife and my son have a hard time moving them. It would be a good excuse for me to not let her mow the yard (she is good at running into stuff lol) but I would like my son to be able to operate it (I trust him more lol).

theres a spring underneath, runs from frame to transaxle input shaft, adjusting that can help.
theres also a damper ( Part # 426012M91 basically a shock absorber that costs approx 155$) that when old acts all funky. often times it sticks causing hard to move as well as no return when letting off pedals.
theres also a bearing (part # 6254105M1 iirc was 15$) on side of frame right behind cruise control mechanism that holds on end of the pedal input shaft into transaxle. that can really cause a no return issue and is a PITA to replace.
I've replaced all 3 but there is still stiffness, but pedals don't stick down anymore.
at that point if I wanted easier I'd prob have to open transaxle and look at input end inside. not worth the money.

one thing I did was the 2400 fwd pedal has 2 mount holes, I raised pedal up (mounted to shaft) by bolting pedal on using the lower bolt hole. raised pedal approx 1.5" and gave my foot more leverage.

Thank you very much. All options I am going to look into today.

Spray all the pedal linkage with a product called Fluid Film - it has great lubricity and may resolve your issue.

fwiw if you use white lithium....you will regret it. found out the hard way how badly dirt sticks to that on the bearing in frame.
