[QUOTE="Jyuma, post: 55364, member: 4393"] My Thomas T133 has had neutral creep since the day I got it. The mechanism for returning to neutral in my Thomas is for the birds so I don't even bother setting it anymore. The neutral position is attained by two coil springs that alternately go into tension with the motion (forward or back) of the drive handles. The trouble with this setup is that the hydrostatic drive is extremely sensitive to the slightest control input but the counter balanced springs do not return to the exact same spot every time. Thus the neutral creep. After years of adjusting and readjusting I gave up and now I just move the sticks back and forth around the neutral position until the noise stops. Done!
