Throttle Troubles
My 123 has a bit of a throttle problem. You have to pull the lever down to throttle up. I took it apart and tried to flip it around but its not possible. Also does not have enough throw on the throttle linkage to move the lever on the carb back against the idle screw. I know its not the right throttle lever because it had metric bolts in it. Anyone have a lever and cable off of a 123. I don't want to run it because it runs wide open at what should be idle. Would post pictures but Im not sure how to do that haha computer stupid!

Ok, here is my guess on your situation by what you have described. It sounds like your throttle cable is hooked up straight on to the linkage, instead of routing it around the front end of your machine (up by the exhaust). Please go to the technical section of our forum and download the correct manual for your tractor and look at the correct throttle linkage set up--it should loop around down by the points and curve back up to the throttle linkage and yours seems to go straight up by the carb.
Here is one way to post a pic: Save it to a file on your computer first. In your post/thread here, click on the paper clip symbol up at the top of the toolbar of your thread. Select the "browse" feature and select your file that contains the picture. Then click "Ok" at the bottom of that option menu. You can click to preview your post to make sure that it is included in your post. Also, publish an add in our Trading Post section of our forum under the Wanted section for that part or click on the Poster Advertisement Buttons above our forum to check our sponsors for your needed part.

I meant to say the throttle lever is backwards sorry haha. Im pretty sure the throttle cable is connected in the right spot from what you told me. Thank you also for describing how to post a picture I was clicking on the Insert Pictured button and it would pop up for the picture url. Definitely will be posting lots of pictures now.

The throttle cable on a 123 should not loop around to the front of the engine.
The cable should come horizontally from the rear of the machine go straight forward and attach to the pivoting, flat bar that is bolted to the side of the engine (speed control bracket). There should be a spring (also horizontal) hooked to this same flat bar directly toward the front of the machine from the cable. The other end of this spring is attached to the bottom of the governor lever.

Just a weird thought. If you rebuild a carb, could you but the butterfly shaft in 180 degrees and cause this condition ?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
