what grease did you use for the hst pedal when greasing the pivot under floorboard? I always use lighter duty grease, this way its less thick and moves better in the cold. I remember after 2-3 years of using the BX, I took the floor board off the tractor to gain access to the pivot shaft and slide it out part way so I could clean up the shaft with degreaser and put it all back together and regrease it and its back to normal. Its starting to be "sticky" again so its time to do it again soon. Problem is that it is not a fast job, lots of parts to take off just to gain access again and I'm actually dreading it since the first time I was curious and it was no problem disassemble and reassemble, the time is a factor and its a all day job. I might attempt to do it from under the tractor this time.
