My 20 hp Troy Bilt Bronco 42" cut riding lawn mower [model # 13WX78KS011] creeps forward when I fully depress the "gas" pedal, however; I did not break a belt. This is how I created my problem. I was cutting my lawn near a sharp drop off. While making a turn, I shut off the PTO, shifted into reverse, and was backing toward the edge of the drop off. I thought that I had shifted into forward - pushed the pedal; the bronco was still in reverse and it leaped backward toward the edge. I panicked and pushed the brake and the "gas" pedal. The bronco continued backward so I put more pressure on both pedals. When that failed, I prepared to jump off the moving mower by getting off the seat. Thankfully, the auto kill switch engaged and the tractor stopped in brush at the top of the hill. I restarted the bronco and tried to finish cutting the lawn. Immediately, I noticed the bronco was moving forward very slowly. I shut down and examined the pedal and linkage, but did not see any obvious damage. Just a small stick was jammed underneath. Since then, I have used the mower to "slowly" cut the lawn and seek help to fix my problem. I do not notice any odd noise coming from the transmission or belts; however, the "gas" pedal does not have the same tension as it did before. I would appreciate suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Does anyone know if a cordless mower (24 volt Homelite) can be converted into a corded (electric plug in) mower? Thanks, Pat
