Pullstart 62,834 #2 Posted June 1 Are you referring to the brake pedal that returns the linkage to center? There is a return spring in the tunnel that often breaks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

23 Reo 229 #4 Posted June 2 I had the same problem on my 81 C-125 automatic. I think it is a common problem with the early black hoods. Sorry, I do not have a solution. I just thought it was worn out and did not use it. Do not trust it. The handle is likely to drop and your tractor could take off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,067 #5 Posted June 2 Pivot holes and pin wear out on the lever thingy. I took one to my welder buddy and he repaired the hole and made a new pin. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 55,188 #6 Posted June 2 Mike @squonk has it right, the round hole becomes an oval and there is too much play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without pictures we can't tell. but if everything is there and the pivot is worn, it will flop around and wear out the belt faster and rattle a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
