Snow JD 755 slow creep forward

[stallardt]

I purchased the JD 755 a month ago, I completely greased the tractor and Have noticed the creep. I am not sure if greasing the tractor caused the condition since I greased the forward and reverse pedals. I am confused what step to take first to fix the problem. I was reading about the nutarual
Return spring adjust and the eccentric adjust. Any help on this matter would be grateful


Thank you
Tracy

Don't have Deere, but on my NH the neutral eccentric needs to be adjusted every now and then. About once a year or sometimes twice. Not a big deal and just takes a few minuets.

On the neutral centric it has a cap screw you loosen and what do use use a wrench or can you adjust by hand mine is on the frame rail with a whole in the frame to adjust . I not sure how to adjust from in side rail or on outside through the hole in the frame and what tool to use

Thanks
Tracy

I am still needing help on creep issue, please point me in the proper direction.

Check your owners manual, it should tell you how and where. If you don't have one, think they can be viewed on line.

Next take a few pictures of what you think is the adjuster.

Basic - Loosen lock nut - turn adjuster 1 way or the other - if the first direction does not work - go the other way.

I hope this helps. This is from the tech man'l and what it says about the eccentric. I included a second one of the linkages that may or may not be of any help. I don't know how you are to turn the eccentric after loosening the cap screw (apparently by hand) and then hold it while tightening the cap screw. If you find out, let us know.

The eccentric is a large hex nut. You simply put a wrench on it (between the inside of the frame rail and the transmission) and turn it. It's a simple procedure... I've done it several times.

Thanks Mechanos.
Apparently it is snug enough to stay in place once adjusted then. Good to know, as that wasn't very clear in the tech write-up.

Mine wasn't.... I had to hold the eccentric with a wrench exactly where I wanted it while tightening down the lock bolt.

Ok, so there are two hex "nuts"...a large to turn the eccentric and a small to lock it down. Prolly both are metric.

Reachable without removing the parts, or needing to take the seat/fender parts off? Appears the wheels are left on.

I am still trying to adjust for the creep, their is a small cap nut you loosen and then put a wrench on the eccentric to adjust. The problem in have is the space between forward and reverse is very small and when I think I have it adjust and take it for a test it still will either creep forward or reverse depending on how I tried to get it just right. When I adjusted the tractor on the jack stands it looks good but when it on the ground it is a different story!! Help

Then I would suspect sticking control rods, etc. Maybe time for a pressure cleaning, and some light oiling?

Usually when I can't get one adjusted, it is because the bolt holding the cam on the hydro has come loose. It allows enough slop in the adjustment that it creeps either forward or reverse. Bolt #22 goes through cam#21. tighten this bolt and see if that helps.

Thanks for the help. I will try the the suggestions and hope it helps!
