How do I increase forward speed on a GT 3100
I have a 2005 GT 3100 that does not go as fast as it should in forward.
With stock tires it is supposed to go 8 MPH forward and 4 MPH reverse. I have checked/adjusted the engine speed and it runs at the specified 3600 RPM at full throttle. According to my GPS it goes 5.3 MPH in forward and 4.5 MPH in reverse on a level paved road. I have installed new plastic bushings on the frame where the linkage goes through and have the linkage on the reverse pedal adjusted to give maximum forward pedal travel. I have installed larger(24 x 10.5 tires from a 3165) tires on the back which should have increased top speed(I did not check speed prior to the tire change) What should I adjust to increase the forward speed? Photos? I would prefer to have close to the specified forward and reverse speeds, but I would be willing to give up some reverse speed if that will increase forward speed. If I can get 8 MPH forward and 2 MPH reverse, that would be OK.

Did you look to see if the lever on the transmission was moving to it's full forward position?
 I'd say you don't have the pedals adjusted correctly. FWIW, the service manual only tells how to adjust neutral.

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.
