Kubota going about half speed

Postby man00 » Tue Jul 30, 2019 10:54 am

Pulls strong but forward is kinda slow for sure, I notice if I push hard on the HST pedal I can get more speed.
This link for the parts..070 or 110 is where I need to make any changes ?

From what I can see that those would affect the pedal neutral position. By changing the rod length it could give more forward speed but decrease reverse speed. There is also a couple stops screws on the pedal that when adjusted out may help too.

In the detailed circled triangle pedal attachment it shows two screws with locking nuts used as stops then if you look at jungle of parts at the pedal you'll see the same two screws. They are probably hard to get to. Hope I am not seeing things; of course, OEM do change things and not them all the time.

Edit: I am referring to image on KPAD for the T1670

Underneath the floorboard is kind of a bugger, but it does fill up with debris. It's worth pulling the deck to clean out all debris there and at the transaxle. Check the idler pulleys and that the transaxle is secure as well. There are 2 positions if I recall that the tension spring can attach.

Didn't find anything that allowed move movement of the HST pedal, I may wait until fall (cooler weather ) and try again. Wife mows with it when she mows, and I use it to pull a little tow sprayer. Good mower other than slow speed, about time for valve adj? (Kohler 15hp) seems little hard to start at times.
