Default Return to neutral

This is a HDS 2155 with hydrostatic. When I let off the reverse pedal, it snaps back to neutral pretty hard, almost too hard. When I let off of forward, it slowly or sometimes way too slowly (several seconds) comes back to neutral. Is there an adjustment or spring that controls this? Thanks!

I think this is also why my cruise control won't stay engaged. There isn't enough return tension to keep the cruise teeth engaged. It will engage, but after a few seconds, the lever creeps back to disengaged. I cleaned out the teeth and it works fine if you hold the lever down manually.

Did you get under the tractor and look to see if you see a spring? Maybe a little shock on the hydro control levers? I think a quick look underneath and you will answer your own question pretty quick and easily.

There is a small pneumatic cylinder listed as a "damper" in the parts list that is the only thing that seems somewhat obvious to me. I guess I was hoping for some confirmation before throwing $50 away on a unnecessary part if this was just adjustment-related.

You can't adjust a damper. Just like a failed shock, they go bad. If the neutral return spring is intact, the linkage is well lubricated, then not much else it can be.

Moose, I haven’t performed the procedure but on page 21 of the owner’s manual it refers to a problem similar to the one you are describing and walks you thru the steps to correct 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.
