Gt 2544
Hi ya'll. I'm the proud owner of a 2005 GT 2544 tractor. The intent was to replace my 1970 Jacobsen GT 16 Hydro. The Jake is still alive, but has been put out to pasture since the deck rotted away. Anyways, I had the Cub in the garage to go over planned services I'll do. I replaced two burnt out\broken headlamp bulbs, greased all zerks in the suspension and deck spindles, lubed the sticky throttle cable and blew a lot of caked on lawn crud out from under the machine. I have a brief question. Unlike my Jacobsen, when I push the go-fast pedal then release it, the tractor wants to keep moving forward as if the cruise control were on, which I'm pretty sure is not the case. This happens in forward and reverse. It's weird as well as dangerous if you expect the tractor to come to a halt after releasing the pedal. My Jake will stop so suddenly when you release the pedal it'll snap your neck forward. So, what gives with this Cub? What could be wrong with the hydrostatic drive or linkage?
I reviewed the owners manual and it said nothing about that run-away affect. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

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.
