1997 JD 855
I have a 1997 855 with about 1200 hours. Over the last couple of years, on occasion the pedals would stick, not allowing you to travel at a normal speed. You can go slow though. I talked to a tech who said it was just sticking and to kick the pedals real hard. When I did that, I would end up breaking the bolt in the linkage but when I put it back together, it would work fine. I finally discovered that I could also just turn it off and wait maybe 5 minutes and it would work fine. Finally, it won't correct itself again. I could feel tension building up in the pedals when it was getting ready to stick.
I'm thinking that's there's pressure building up somewhere causing it.

If anyone has any ideas, please chime in. I'm hoping on some kind of an easy fix but not holding my breath. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
