Sticky HST pedal

[Retired guy]

The rocker pedal on my CK30 HST has begun rebounding slowly. I have greased the zerk, cleaned the rod and oiled the linkage.
It is a 2012 with 2660 hours. Suggestions

Same as mine, albeit a 2014 with only about 700 hours on it. Seems to be worse when tractor is first started and not as pronounced after it’s warmed up with use.
Subscribed to hear solutions…

Any debris jammed up in the peddle linkage? I had that issue once, and it kinda spoked me when the Forward peddle didn't come up, when I lifted my foot. Shut it down, and found a stick had wedged in there and kept it from returning.

My Branson does this when cold and the grease is stiff. I tried some low temp grease and that seemed to help a little.

I had that problem with my CK30. Dealer said the shaft where it goes into the transmission fit very tightly and it was difficult to get it lubed properly. He ended up pulling the case apart, removing the shaft, sanding down the shaft and cleaning up the hole it fit in. This gave just enough clearance to grease it up properly before reassembling. Supposedly worked fine after that. I traded the CK30 in for a DK40 and never used it after dealer fixed it. Sometimes I wish I had kept the CK.

NH TC29D has same issue. But, comes and goes. All it takes is a light tap on reverse end of pedal, and it stops the forward motion. It's not like it is running full steam, it just doesn't return to neutral position. And it's only when running, I think. Peddle seems to move freely when I'm trying to fix issue. Unless it is such a slight hang up that I don't see. It's a head scratcher for sure...

Kioti installed 3 new transmissions in my CK27 it still stuck often then they tried a $600 fix then they added an extra spring to the return. It still stuck some times where I had to give a hard kick to release it. When it stuck and I flipped over backwards I took the tractor back to the dealer and told them to keep it ,600 hrs. on it . They sold me a 2610 real cheap with 2 pedals it still sticks when cold but not as severe I now have 1200 + hrs. on it. I think they need to rethink their transmissions.

It's not about blaming the person who’s forced into a horrible situation, but about focusing on the person who’s abusing their power. The boss is in the wrong here, and the victim is just trying to survive in a terrible position. We should be looking at how to stop people from using their power in such an awful way and how to bring those responsible to justice.

I don't think you posted in the correct thread.
