pacer 3,174 #1 Posted March 14, 2023 Finding neutral in a D200 is getting more and more hard to find. Its the typical Sundstrand tranny and has no other problems - strong pulling in fwd & rev, just have to fiddle around to find the neutral point. Have been into 2-3 of these pumps, but only for a check on an unknown purchase, and while in there do a 'refurb' - typical clean/polish/examine, etc but never paid any attention to the motion control portion. So, is there an 'adjustment' in there to tighten/adjust the motion control lever?? Like most folks I often have to get off the tractor for various reasons - move a limb/debris/etc (get the mail!) out of the way, and all too often I look around and the tractor is creeping away.... frustrating! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have this same issue with my D160. I'll let any body drive it, I just tell them "If you're goin to get off, shut it off" There is a hole in the side panel under the dash that will give you access to tighten the lever tension. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacer 3,174 #5 Posted March 15, 2023 @pfrederi Thanks for that! As much as I've been around the D tractors I have missed that one Have adjusted the friction on several occasions, but not that one. Will give it a try later today ..... I've got to cut grass!! this early!! amazing how everything has sprung to life here --- trees, flowers,,,GRASS! Broke several high temp records over the last couple weeks, hitting 90°once! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,174 #6 Posted March 15, 2023 Paul, (and others!) went out and and following the procedure shown spent maybe 5+ minutes adjusting with the rear wheels jacked up and with a really small 'tweak' neutral is right where its supposed to be and no creeping Thanks again ...... gotta love this forum! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
