Cub cadet original throttle question
 

My buddy’s original cub throttle linkage to the governor is all out of wack, and there’s not much information on them online. The arm that the throttle cable is clamped down to won’t stay on. The end that goes to the governor looks like a open end wrench is moving on the shaft and I don’t exactly know how it was supposed to work when it was brand new. So is the governor shaft supposed to hold that wrench shaped piece snug in place?

If you could post some pictures it sure would be helpful for the people here to help you.:bigthink:

Is this on "an original" (1st cub cadet model built) or a later model?
I think you are referring to the governor shaft bushing which should be tight, threaded into the block using a 3/4" wrench.

It holds the shaft in place.
Remove the arm and snug it down then reset the governor using the instructions in the FSM available here on this site.

I believe it is a K161 George. The little wrench is where the throttle connects to.

I’ve been having trouble uploading pictures, but that diagram you sent is what I’m talking about (the throttle bracket). My friend’s original cub cadet’s throttle bracket was put on wrong so when i get a chance i’ll fix it and let you guys know. Appreciate the help!

Probably a wave washer involved in there somewhere as well
At least the parts look-up shows one besides the copper one on the stop screw.

Have you looked at pages 6-26, 6-27, and 6-28 of the Kohler K Series Service Manual?
