My 2011 B3200 with 220 hours hydrostatic pedal has been acting up. It won't return to neutral when lifting off the pedal, causing the tractor to shut down anytime I get off it with the parking brake set. I had to bypass the neutral safety switch last weekend just to get it back to the shop. I've cleaned and sprayed the roller cam & the neutral switch rod with WD40. The shock absorber on the pedal seems pretty stiff if I extend/retract it by hand.

I've also noticed the hydrostatic pedal gets very soft and won't return to neutral after an hour or so of use. I also get some creep when I lift off the forward pedal. Any suggestions on what else I need to do while I have the area exposed?

That sounds very indicative of a dampener failure. ;)
