L-35 Kubota hand gas lever question..

[mrbruce]

Just bought a 96 L-35 Kubota, and need to know about the hand gas lever at the right side rear of the seat.
Seems like it should stay in one place while your running at what ever RPM, but it don't..
It don't seem to do anything different than the foot feed does, it just returns when you let off of it...
Any ideas ??
Thanks for your time.....

Should stay where you put it the tension device is in need of adjustment or repair

Yes, it sure seems to need that.
Not sure how that works, but I'll remove it and check it out..
Thanks...

Try to adjust 080/090.

Thanks for that, the8080, I'll see what I can do with it...

It should hold position and needs adjusting.

If you have a backhoe attachment make sure to lube the hand levers that release the backhoe attachment. It seems common that they rust up in time.

Also check the front axle gear oil.

Thanks for the info, no BH on the L-35, but the hardware is there to hook it to.
The L3400 has one and thats enough for me...
