JD 316 Speed Problems

Hi all! I am a newbie to this forum (and tractors in general) so please be patient with me. I am about to purchase my first tractor. The machine in question is a circa 1986 JD 316 with 800+ hrs. I have it on loan from the dealer to try it out over the weekend. They've recently run it through their shop and put about $600 worth of work into it. After using it for about an hour there is only one problem that I can see with it. When you set it at a certain speed (in forward or reverse) it sometimes jumps up to a higher speed by itself. Almost as if the lever was gradually being pushed forward. I can, of course, correct the increased speed by pulling back on the lever. I told the dealer about this problem and they put it back in their shop. They didn't find anything wrong and the mechanic told me that this behavour is normal for this size tractor. He said its just something you have to get used to. Does this sound right? Has anyone else experienced similiar phenomenon with a 316 or any other tractor? If there is something wrong, could anyone give me an idea of what it might be so I'll have something to present to the dealer when I talk to them on Monday?

Thanks very much!

Jeff

I would check to see if the spring on the control plate on the hydro is worn or broken. This would allow the control arm to float causing a speed increase. Hope this helps.

Just FYI, I finally convinced the dealer this was a problem. They looked into it further and discovered there was a worn "coupler" (or something similiar) that needed replacing. Problem resolved and I'm enjoying the 316! Please excuse my lack of mechanical knowledge about these things :) Just thought I'd post this in hopes it might help someone else with a similiar problem.
