A quick question, I have a L3901 HST with 650 hours, I notice lately that the foot pedal for forward and reverse is slow to come back when pressed forward. When I release the pedal it might no stop and creep forward. I didn't notice any grease points in that area. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Your owner's manual should give the grease locations. They are under the tractor. While you're there look for possible debris binding the action.

Yes if you never greased the fitting it will get like that, down in Fla I would look for sand and stuff up under and around the linkage,, I have said nothing more than mike and RW said,, always look for the simple things first
