BX2230 Neutral

[efhale]

I have a BX2230 with 160 hours. After a hard day on the farm pulling a box grader at near full throtle for an hour or so the speed control pedal no longer returns to neutral. It pretty much doesn't return at all from the forward position and from the reverse position seems to want to return to neutral but doesn't make it without help. I have checked and greased the pedal pivot and disassembled, checked, and reassembled the linkage to the shaft (truion) that enters the HST. The problem seems to be that the truion is very difficult to turn. I wasn't able to move it by hand at all. Otherwise the tractor/HST works fine. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions.

This seems to be an issue for a lot of us. Greasing helps some (like me) but others it doesn't. Off the top of my head I don't remember reading any good solutions but there has been a lot of discussion on this very topic. Do some searches and see what you find out.

There is a specific procedure for adjusting the HST speed control pedal spring. Consult your users manual for the simple adjustment procedure. It really takes very little time to do, and I don't think you will find it difficult.
Best of Luck!
