Now that I have the hydro accessible...
You may recall that the forward/reverse speed control was stuck at the neutral position. I tried a suggestion to loosen the nut on the outside of the tower, and it did not help. The problem is somewhere in the linkage or the hydro itself.
Last night I remembered the mechanic from the scrap yard told me that when he did start the engine, the tractor surged forward on him. So that provides a clue - even though it was in the N position, the hydro is engaged and the control won't budge.
Any suggestions on what I should look for? (Edit 7/18/11 - keep reading, it was the stuck linkage at the rear end)
