I was able to adjust it like you said; First I disconnected the throttle cable from the arm on the pump. Then, I loosened the jam nut that was difficult to get to, and could turn the capsule in (raise idle) or out (lower idle). Once I had the idle where I wanted it I set the throttle lever to the low idle shelf on the console, and adjusted the length to connect to the pump arm.
But, also like you said could happen the motor would not shut down when I moved the lever to the shut off position - it just slowed down to under 400 rpm and sputtered along.
Based on this - would changing the spring be the only way to fix this, or does the pump need to have something rebuilt? THe biggest reason I'm concerned about it is because when other people operate the tractor they forget that they can't just pull the lever down to the idle shelf - the highest I can idle it while still being able to shut it down is around 650, which is to low especially for a 2+2.
