Hello All,

My model 60 throttle does not stay all the way forward when the tractor is working. I have to hold the trottle lever all the way forward while the tractor is moving or else it creeps back and I lose power. Is there a bolt that I need to tighten or anything else I should look for?

Thanks.
Mattt

Old 1/8th inch thick fiber belting material makes good friction washers.

Matt, Those A4601R friction washers shown in the parts book had been subed over to AA6077R a $30+ plate w/ bonded washers. Clooney indicates a cork replacement, havn't bought one from Deere in a few years so i don't know what is offered now. I bought last 2 off ebay(1 for my 2nd. 60,1 for the 720 which is a different part #), others have posted using leather and others have indicated they used the friction washers ( D399R)used in the fan shaft and cut them to size. What ever you do unhook the battery if you try to tighten the bolt because the ign. switch and ampmeter are right their. I had replaced the plate and washers on our 60 several years ago and have to tighten the bolt once in a while. Keepem popping gwh

Matt, there is a bolt running from the inside that bolts the throttle lever on. Sometimes just tightening that bolt will solve your problem. If that won't stop the lever creep you probably have worn out or missing friction washers on the throttle lever & will need to replace them. I don't know if Deere is still selling the cork replacements but they are junk & if you need replacement friction washers you are better off making new from leather, or I like to use brass.

Thanks for your advice. I just got my parts book and was looking through it tonight. I saw the friction washers in the diagram and am hoping its that simple.

Now to find the time to tear it apart and take a look.

Thanks.

If tightening that spring from the back doesn't help, try this. I replaced my friction washers with the leather cut out of the palm of a cheap leather glove. I changed them 2-1/2 yrs ago and it's still working just fine.
