This just started when i went back to mowing pasture. I set throttle at about 75% to mow but it keeps kicking it back to idle even if I don't have a load on the mower.

See if there isn't a bolt on the linkage that you can tighten.

It sounds like the friction disc, at the bottom of the hand throttle assy., that keeps the throttle in place is worn/deteriorated, and needs replaced, or adjusted as mentioned. I have made them from heavy gasket material, like 1/8" thick to make new one's, and will last a good while. Replacement disc appear to be made of sheet cork gasket.
Here is a link to an aftermarket disc to give you an idea what it looks like. Throttle Friction Disc

Sorry guys.. No disc in an n... 
The n has a sector plate and a ball in the throttle arm to ride the plate, and a spring tensioner.
The bell crank is on the later machines
