Look under the tractor just above the hydraulic filter. You will see a spring with a threaded rod on the bottom. That is the return spring for the HST pedal and needs to be adjusted as the spring weakens. You will need a 12mm open end wrench 12mm socket, 6 inch extension and ratchet. Loosen the top nut, turn the bottom nut to adjust then tighten the top nut. Don't go more that 1 turn at a time. According to my manual the tractor should stop in 3 ft when going forward in high.
The top nut is hard to turn because of the fan blade in the way, I held it with the wrench and backed the bottom nut off 1/2 turn, I was then able to run the top nut up with my finger tip.
After loosening, turn the bottom nut clockwise 1 turn, run the top nut back down and hold with the wrench and tighten the bottom nut.
I had to adjust 3 times on mine before it would stop in the prescribed distance but I didn't want to over do it.
As a note on the filters, I am not a fan of paying Kubota's over inflated price for oil filters, The bx2350 uses the same oil filter as my 99 Miata, that should make it easier to locate one at the parts store. I use Purolator my self.
