T233 First Time Onwer

[cdavidadams]

Just purchased a 4yr old T233 with 110 hrs. This is the first tractor I have ever owned. Was doing some brush clearing this morning and got hung up on a stump. Since there is no clutch on the tractor, I'm assuming this is a hydrostatic transmission? Anyway, since I got hung up, when I press either the forward or reverse pedals they don't return to their normal position. Very disconcerting going down an incline! I've since parked the tractor as I don't want to do further damage. Does this sound like I've screwed up the transmission? Thanks for any help!

u may have bent the linkage

Thanks for the reply! I got underneath and looked and there is definitely a metal bracket that is bent. It is not obvious as to how that may be connected to the pedals though. Trying to locate a manual that might show me a schematic for the linkage. Thanks again!
