129 Throttle Woes
My newer to my 129 runs fine, but the throttle lever "drifts" from what ever setting you have it at to the low speed. Is this a sign of a 42 year old cable needing to be replaced, or can this be adjusted w/o goofing up the ability to adjust the throttle? Thanks for your patience with a rookie here!

I've not worked on a 129 myself but from just about every throttle I've worked on to date, there is usually a nut/bolt where the throttle lever links up to the throttle cable right below the dash that can work its way loose. I'd check that to make sure it's snug before I replace a cable or anything. Good luck!

I believe jimbob is correct, there should be a bolt and lock nut that holds the lever to the mounting bracket, that can be tightened to provide more resistance,
If I remember correctly you may have to take it out of the dash to tighten it, but I don't think you have to take it loose from the engine.

 , set the throttle at full throttle position.Then, put a couple minor (I mean REAL minor) "kinks" or bends in the cable. Heck, you are gonna replace it anyway. The throttle will want to then stay at full throttle. On the ones I have done, it worked perfectly. Remember, minor!!  you can probably do it with your hands.

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.
