Kubota B1750 Sticking Forward Pedal?

[KevinMcC]

So I have been chasing this problem for a while, no luck so I figured I would turn to the internet for help.

When I depress the pedal going forward, it sticks and will not return unless I do it myself. However reverse returns after letting off? This happens with the tractor running or not running. I have tried to lube up all the shafts, pivots, etc with no luck at all.

Downloaded the WSM and been digging, but no dice so far. Figured in the meantime I would ask here and see if anyone has any input.

Have you removed the damper and see if the pedal will quit sticking?

I have not, I have just been trying to lube the points that pivot mainly. Is removing the damper pretty straight forward?

Yep just pull the cotter keys (200) out of pins (180) then remove the pins.

Gotcha, and if it does and does not fix? What would be the next steps? Gonna look into it tomorrow.

If the damper is not causing it to stick, then you'll need to look into the pedal pivot, linkage and neutral holder.

And if none of those....Well lets just say lets hope it's one of those.

Is the cruise control lever fully released?

So it has been a few days but had time to look at the tractor. Took some pics to see if anyone can see if everything is there or if something is missing.

Is that damper a piston of sort that pushes the pedal back to neutral? Could it lost its pressure and be worn out?

I couldn't get that damper off because it was way too tight to get my hands or any tools to the cotter pins on the damper. Not sure how to get to them?

The damper is a shock, it doesn't return to neutral , but if it's damaged it can cause it to not move freely.

I gotta get that thing disconnected somehow! There has to be an easy way to do it but I am not seeing it? I need someone with very very tiny hands!
