Slow HST when in reverse on CK-35

[George in Spokane]

(I posted this in the middle of another post but I may not have reached the experts)


After a few hours of successful use I noticed that the reverse pedal is only about an inch off the deck. I can go quickly forward (about 2 or 3" of travel) but reverse is very slow. I wonder if I bent something.

I crawled under and everything looks good. The mechanism is exposed and the little piston, spring, and lever arms all look good although I don't think I could spot a small bend. I greased the two zerks down there.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I wonder if they changed anything under there for the CK35. I think my
05 CK30 has only one zerk under there.

I don't use my cruise control but I set it when I was adding wiring under the
dash. I left it on when I went to use the tractor (after I put everything
back together), and I got similar symptoms. Have you checked the cruise
control?

Thanks for the tip. Why the cruise control?

Why the cruise control? BECAUSE I'M AN IDIOT!!!

Here I am crawling underneath, lubing zerks, searching on the web, and it was just the cruise control lever.

I just plowed another foot of snow (record December here) and all is well.

Thanks Guys!!
