Welcome to HEF GregD;)! Should have started a new post rather than piggy back an old one. Your sticking lever is probably dirt packed down around the travel pilot control valve under the front floor board. As far as manuals you will have to either buy one or PM tool_king to see if he any to share.

New to forum and mini excavators (2012 J.D. 35D, 2000 hrs). My apologies for piggybacking. tool_ king is there any chance you could send me manuals for 35D? (bigmacker1245@gmail.com).
Also, I have two embarrassing newbie questions, 1) can i adjust the aux hydraulics (thumb) at the valve bank? which valve is it? it's way to fast right now, but will be using mower deck and need to adjust back to full flow as required. 2) how do i get constant flow to the mower motor without holding slide switch continually?
thanks for the help

Welcome to HEF bigmacker;)! Need a machine serial number.

Short answer is no you can't change flow without installing a flow selector kit or slowing down thumb operation with orifices installed in the thumb plumbing. You should be able to have constant auxiliary flow by pulling the trigger on the right lever instead of using the slide switch.
