BX2230 Speed Contol Pedal
Feb 28 2009, 11:12 AM EST | Post edited: Mar 1 2009, 11:46 AM EST
I have a BX2230 with 160 hours. After a hard day on the farm pulling a box grader at near full throtle for an hour or so the speed control pedal no longer returns to neutral. It pretty much doesn't return at all from the forward position and from the reverse position seems to want to return to neutral but doesn't make it without help. I have checked and greased the pedal pivot and disassembled, checked, and reassembled the linkage to the shaft (trunnion) that enters the HST. The problem seems to be that the trunnion is very difficult to turn. I wasn't able to move it by hand at all. Otherwise the tractor/HST works fine. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Much appreciated. Do you find this valuable?

On the Transmission page of this site there are links to two discussions on TractorByNet that discuss the problem. Maybe you'll get some ideas from there. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Thanks much for the link, apmillard. I read the thread and those fellows had some luck dissembling and cleaning. I think I will try again and go deeper. If not dirt perhaps the trunnion bushings are the problem. Do you find this valuable?
