Default CC 2146 Pedals not returning to neutral
First of hi everyone. I'm new here and obviously this is my first post.
Well I have a 2146 that a couple weeks ago while cutting my lawn I noticed sort if like a bang or pop like when the blades hit something so I thought that's what it was so I just kept going. But when I released the pedal I noticed it wouldn't stop. And I realized the pedal wasn't coming back to neutral. So I had to manually pull it back. And then I tried reverse and same thing. Pedals are really loose now. I'm able to use it but have to be very soft and smooth on the reverse pedal to stop when going forward or else it will want to kick into reverse while still moving forward. I haven't even had a chance to look underneath to see if it's just some spring that may have broke and needs to be replaced or if it's something internal in the transmission? I just wanted to ask here before I look at it to have a better idea what to look for. Thanks in advance

You can take a look at the various parts break downs for your tractor at Parts Tree, this is the link

Looks like lots of things could be the cause.

I have not seen a 2100 series.. maybe there was a return spring? that'd explain the pop/bang noise.

Some models had a gas strut setup others had a spring either way sounds like you mowed it

Not according to the parts book. Spring only on that model.

I beg to differ, Ryan's 2146 that he is parting out had a gas strut. This is a screen cap of one of the pics he sent me. Regardless, my first thought was he mowed the centering mechanism too.

My mistake. I found the shock in a different section of the controls. It is not with the pedals. Still, the info is incorrect, as it shows both the springs AND the shock. I do know, that the shock only cushions the springs force, it doesn't return it to center. I'm quite sure on that.

Thanks for the pic Bill. It may help the op to see what's missing.

Agreed. I didn't mean to imply strut only and no spring, just that there was a strut. I should have added it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
