Default 2082 Hydrostat Creeping / needs adjustment

I'm not new to Cub Cadets, but I am new to this site. Hope I can get some needed info. I have an 1864 and a 2082. Both are awesome machines. I just got the 2082 late last year and am just now messing with it. When I depress the left brake pedal to start the engine, the hydrostat control moves slightly rearward. So when the engine starts, it starts moving back. The hydrostat control is also hard to move forward and rearward and seems like it has a "catch" in it somewhere. I've had the 1864 since new and it is smooth when moving it forward and back without any "catch" or interference. I don't want to make it worse so I haven't messed with it yet. I want it back like original or similar to my 1864. Any advice? Thank you in advance.

the hydrostat handle has a tension bolt at the bottom of the steering tower,try loosening the tension a little and see if it smooths up. The creep is adjusted on the trans. Take the tunnel cover off, the linkage from the control handle attaches to the bracket on the pump, this bracket is bolted to the pump by 2 9/16s head bolts.jack up the rear of your tractor,loosen these 2 bolts and bump the mounting plate up or down slightly with the tractor running till the pedal centers the hydo without creeping.

The "catch" sounds like something may be worn excessively. I would take the tunnel cover off and watch the linkage while moving the lever. Also you can feel the linkage for slop. A little is normal but if its excessive you may need to do some shimming:

Here's a youtube video and a link on adjusting the neutral position: http://youtu.be/phz_VqTZFRI

You also may need to adjust the linkage that positions your lever in neutral when you press in the brake. It's kind of a trick to get both in the correct position.

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.
