Per my eariler post, I bought a used (580 hrs) 2165 this week. I'm checking it over, making adjustments. lubing, etc. My question is about what is normal for the hydrostatic pedals returning to neutral. This one will most times back down to a slow speed when the foot is removed from the pedals, but will still creep forward (or reverse) for a short distance (3-4 feet) before coming to a complete stop. I've lubed the pivot points on the linkage with no change. Of course, a light tap on the pedal for the oposite direction will immediately stop the tractor. It seems like the linkage is binding slightly, but I don't find any place. I'm looking for comments as to it being characteristic of the machine, or ways to correct it so it will center the control more quickly. My wife might be using the mower and quickly reaching for the opposite direction pedal might not occur to her before she runs over something. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif As always, comments and advice is appreciated.
