Sticky HST Pedals - Bobcat 2035

Bobctat2035 · Dec 19, 2020

When it's cold out, my F/R pedals are pretty sticky. High range is so bad that I have to pull the pedals back out. Kinda dangerous. I noticed it over the last few months as it's gotten colder and now that it's super cold, it's super bad. It usually went away once things heated up but that takes a long time when it's freezing.

It's only a few months old but everything is greased and I don't really see any kind of adjustments that can be made to help. Is this normal or could there be some other issue?

You have described a constant issue many greases. They get extremely hard when exposed to freezing or near freezing temps.
Look for a grease that works in temps lower than your coldest winter temps and use it for a winter grease. It may not be the most suitable for your summer temps however.

The pedals don't even have grease fittings though? Only the brake pedal.
