Hydrostatic Pedal Sticks, Fix?

[AmsoilAL]

Hello, I have a CT2035 with a sticky hydrostatic rocker pedal (older bobcat tractor). Thoughts about how to unstick? The pedal remains in forward or reverse when depressed.

Lubricate linkage and pedal pivot.

Will give that a try. Thank you

I know that my hydrostatic pedals have a grease nipple (zerk) or two underneath which, of course, isn't included in my Owner Manual. A spray of lanolin based lubricant on anything that moves but doesn't have a dedicated nipple will also help and should become part of your maintenance schedule. (That includes EVERYTHING on your tractor)

Failing that, I'd look to the return/centring springs for the pedals... but to have both FWD/REV springs buggered at the same time seems unusual.

Most of these tractors also have a damper attached to the mechanism, so that the pedals (or treadle) don't go back to neutral too quickly (would be jerky and abrupt). Sometimes it can stick with age. Look for that and lubricate it with a light machine oil if other fixes don't work.

That item also creates a detent so the peddle stays in neutral when it is not pressed.

I looked up a CT2035H on the bobcat parts site and found a damper 7002546. It looks like a small shock absorber that is near the hydro linkage. Read this service bulletin first though...pdf file
