Default Throttle lever slips out of high when running
Likes to slip fast down to mid range. I cannot see anywhere to tighten tension on the lever under the dash (on a 108)
Any ideas to tighten up the tension on the lever?

On my 128 there is a bolt and lock nut that holds the lever tight. I was able to tighten the nut on mine till I got it where I liked it.

My 1650 also does this. Last time I mowed I wedged an empty shotgun shell in there so it wouldn't slip back down. Also couldn't find anything in the service manual. Like DWayne's 128, my 108 has the locknut too. But on my 1650 the throttle unit is pressed together.

If they are pressed or riveted together, take it out and using a hammer and a punch on one side and something solid to back up the other side, tap it together to tighten it back up.

Just wondering if that might loosen back up over time especially on a 1650. At certain rpm's it feels like riding my harley. Could you put a small bolt through the hole and squeeze it back together with a lock nut? Anyone try that?

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.
