LTX1050 forward delay

[Dukes7779]

Hey all, new to TBN, so hello and thanks in advance!
A couple months ago my drive belt came loose under stress and shredded my hydrostatic fan on my LTX1050. Fixed easy enough (with help of PB Blaster). However, now I am having problems going forward. When I press the forward pedal there is a delay of a couple seconds before the machine will go forward and when it does it sort of jumps forward but then rides fine. It almost feels like a spring is loose and takes a second to get enough tension to engage the transmission but the pedal has to be pushed forward enough to get it going that it is low-mid speed position which is what causes it to jump forward. Reverse is absolutely fine though, which adds to my assumption of a spring problem. Could it be a linkage problem though with these symptoms? Did I screw something up when I dropped the transaxle to replace the fan? Anyone experience this?

Thanks!

Well as it seems that you did remove the tansaxle as part of the repair, and if it did not do this before the belt problem, then I would say that something got put together wrong.

Did you take photos before and during your disassembly? If so, take a look at what you have now and how it looked in the photos. If no photos, then maybe get a copy of the service manual and see if you can spot any discrepancy's.
