GC2610 Park Brake and Hydro Pedal Springs

[Glenski31]

Hi All,

No big rush on this one but ever since I got my used tractor with 350 hours on it the hydro pedals have been stiff and hesitant to return. I have greased every zerk I could find and 'fluid filmed' all the pivot points and they still are stubborn to return to the point of the tractor staying in motion until I push the opposite pedal to bring the assembly back to neutral. Any thoughts on this or is the just the nature of the beast?

Also the park brake lever stopped returning on me the other day. What appears to be a very simply mechanical system, with no obvious defects. The whole system is just plain stiff. I can move the serrated piece that incrementally grabs the pedal by hand and with the lever up top although stiff, it however doesn't even pretend like it wants to return and it had been working fine. The spring is still there any as I say I have looked over every visible component and nothing appears to be broken.

Thoughts on the above when you get a minute would be great.

Thanks,
Glen

The dealer did a "recall" on my GC2400. You might check to see if there is one on your model as well.

Thanks for the heads up. I saw this post on TBN

Looks like it is for the 2410 for sure. Since I am the 3rd owner of a 2010 2610 I don't know if it will apply to me. The nearest dealer is a couple of hours away. I will give them a call next week and see if they can help out. It isn't that the tractor just creeps a little bit, it just plain out sticks.

I am up for fixing myself if they would at the very least be willing to provide the parts.

Any thoughts on the parking brake not working?
