[QUOTE="bobcatguy, post: 80030, member: 11457"] Roll the cab up and look back at the hydrostat on the top. There are two aluminum levers on top. With the machine off, move your handles forward and back and see if the lever wiggles on the spool. The lever mounts to a square peg with a slot that for the bolt to hold the lever onto the spool. That bolt could be loose or you could have a cracked lever and the bolt no longer keeps the lever tight on the spool. Normally when the lever is loose there are other problems where the machine will lunge left or right and it will be extremely hard to keep the machine traveling in a straight line. It's worth a look at the lever. [/QUOTE]
