BTW I had prolly 20 of those runaway tractors and as I mentioned above it took care of it.
This part seems to never wear out. Some have a machined plate that fit in the slipper area some do not.

It does not "run away" If I am understanding the term run away to me would mean you push lever say .75" to start moving forward while it stays and holds at .75" run away would mean it gets faster and faster even though you did not move the handle more.. Thats not what its doing. I can maintain speed.. When i push it forward really slowly I can control it at any speed. At some point in the forward lever it feels like its going way faster than it ever should, by time I push the lever all the way forward its going so fast that it feels out of control. The steering is tight enough and feels fine at speeds im use to from other tractors. The other part of the issue is when I move the lever forward any faster than barely moving it the tractor will either lift the front wheels off the ground "on pavement" or spin the tires like mad on grass. My other tractors will all spin the tires if I am really aggressive with them but quickly get traction and stop spinning. This is happening when I am working the lever gently. It does this with the throttle anywhere above say 40% of WOT and up.
