Default 1811 governor

I have a chance to pick in a beautiful 1811 with a rebuilt engine in it, the guy that built it didn't replace the governor and now its having some issues. My question is how far apart do the twins have to come to replace the governor? I've never messed with one of these twins and I just wanna be sure what I'm getting into before I make a deal.

You supposed to lie to me and make it sound easy. I assume the governor problem stems from a plastic gear being stripped just like the older singles?

Yep.

You sure it's not just an adjustment issue?
FWIW, you can see the gear through the oil fill.
It's the same governor assm as the "K" series.

It runs wild with no controllability from the throttle. I'm not sure of anything but just wanted to know about the worst case scenario.

Ok.
Had a guy I helped on another forum the other day with the same issue. Adjusted the governor and it fixed it.

Now you know worst case.

Thanks for the info. I'm really hoping to get this tractor as its in beautiful condition and it currently sitting at a friends house that has over 200 cubs that he sells parts off of, its just way to nice to turn into a parts tractor over something like a bad governor.

I had a Mag18 that the gov took a dump but it punch a hole in the block. Engine still ran good but as with the one your talking about you couldn't control the RPM's.

Did it have the plastic gear? I'm pretty sure they all did.
Amazing that the plastic gear didn't just smash when it hit the side. Must have hit it just right. I've not had one that did that, but your not the first person I've seen that that happened to.

Jon

I didn't open the engine, my guess is one of the flyweights did the damage. Probably just happened to end up in a place the 2 things couldn't fit at the same time. Only way I could control the RPM's was to pull the choke. Repowered that tractor with a CH22.

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.
