Dozerdude,
The pedals on my Ten were stiff as well and I thought springs too. When I took it apart I found the linkage inside the case was sticking. There is a pin on the side below the inspection/adjustment cover that has a pivot arm for the brakes attached. Look at the picture and you will see the pivot arm. It may be sticking there.
Hope that helps.
Have a good evening....Bill
What Cysco said, that pin is likeley rusted and binding, it can be pulled out the side of the tractor, polish it up as well as the female part then lube it with silicone as that wont attract dirt or moisture.
That pin can be hard to get out as its in a blind hole if I remember right
If you find you need a replacement spring just go to the Century Spring on-line catalog and spec it out. Also, I have found some of the springs I need at local Ace Hardware stores. Good luck. Ray
