Working Throttle Position
Just curious to find out what throttle position works best to operate these old machines.
I know all these engines have a governor but If they were designed to run wide open throttle all the time when mowing or for whatever use then why have a variable engine speed throttle control? Then given the age of these old garden tractors if not already rebuilt this leaves me to wondering what may be the best throttle position to run them at. Thanks for your comments.

When mowing or tilling or doing anything that will put strain on the engine it needs to be ran at wot, for everything else you can use it however you want. When I plow my driveway or I'm pulling a yard cart I usually go half to 3/4 throttle.

If it runs off the PTO, then stick with WOT, as the attachment is designed for the 3600 RPM speed. If it's not ran off the PTO, then like Tim said, if it puts a lot of strain on the engine go with WOT. Like plowing.

I don't run WOT pulling a moldboard plow. Only what it needs to pull it. PTO driven stuff... yes, WOT. When this question gets asked, i always ask, do you drive a car with your foot all the way down on the throttle? No, you just use as much as is needed. Tractor is no different. But, PTO driven equipment was designed to run a certain speed, so it requires that speed.

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.
