127 Hydrostatic Drive-Not smooth through range
I'm putting a 127 model back into "light" duty service after receiving it from my Dad. Mostly going to use it just "around the farm" for pulling a wagon or mayby snow removal in winter.
One issue I'm seeing is that as I move the hydrostatic selector in the "forward" direction, it seems to hang up about half way through it's apparent range. If I hold it there with forward pressure, the tractor eventually seems to speed up, but not consistently. If I "force" it forward hard enough, it "jumps" into what seems to be top end speed.
I don't know if this is just a binding linkage somewhere or if it's some type of a bad wear pattern internal to the transmission.
Any ideas where to start? It works, but is kind of a nuisannce dealing with it it. Hard to find the right speed... either too slow or too fast.

P.S. Posting a separate question about the generator
