Hello everyone,
I知 new to this forum and have a question. I have a R3039H that creeps forward and it go faster in reverse than in forward. It wasn稚 doing this until my brother in law borrowed it. Does anyone have any knowledge on making adjustments. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

My G3038H has a similar problem but not the issue with speedy reverse. My creeps after letting off on the pedals, more pronounced when it's cold out. I don't know about an adjustment, you can crawl under and see if the linkage is bent or maybe a stick or rock or mud is stuck behind something keeping you from getting full pedal travel in forward.

I crawled under to take a look. The linkage isn’t bent but definitely out of adjustment. I even notice the reverse pedal sitting higher than the forward . Thanks for the info.

Most of the time, pictures will help others to better be able to answers question.
But then we always love pictures anyway even if no questions.

Do you have an operator's manual? My XR3135 HC has the complete procedure for adjusting the HST pedals listed in the maintenance section towards the rear of the manual

Great. I only thought of that because I got a great bloody stick stuck in the linkage while hauling brush and couldn't get the tractor to move backwards. I really need to build a skid plate for that critter before I do some real damage using it like a skid-steer.

No I sure don’t. I bought it used.

I'm pretty sure your operator's manual is available on the LS site, mine was. They guard their $300 service manual like gold.
