The throttle was and carburator were adjusted properly, however I had a hydraulic leak under the steering column. I had to loosen some hydraulic lines including a small line going directly into the steering gearbox. After i did this the throttle rpm was significantly reduced and the throttle lever does not have any resistance. any suggestions?
Sounds like your getting air or got air trapped in the hydraulic system.

You should NOT weld. braze or otherwise join, or "fix" an hydraulic lines, they, ideally, must be run as a single length again, any Join will simply fracture... Also if they are developing "Pin Holes" this is probably due to the material breaking down, and like a "Cancer" it will simply spread, and fail at a probable inappropriate time, not as though there are any good times? As an aside there are "Joiner" kit available for hydraulic lines, perhaps, cutting and rejoining like this may be acceptable? but still i wouldn't risk it, run new ones.

Just had same problem with my craftsmen. There is a very inadequate little nylon bushing supposed to keep that shaft stable. When worn out it allows that shaft to move and puts the gears in a bind. It is located on the end closest to arced gear where shaft hooks to drag link. Its a pain.
