Cub cadet original throttle trouble
Got a new throttle cable for my 1962 cub cadet original and put it in and it works but it only has half the range it should an when i put it halfway up it revs way to high. I have tried everything, am I missing something?
Any suggestion very appreciated!

When I say "throw" I am referring to how much the cable moves in relation to the throttle handle on the dash. If you used a replacement that had a different ratio, then it would change how far you have to move the lever to get a response. Not all throttle handles are created equal. They are different. You may have to find a different one.

It really sounds like the governor cross shaft and/or the throttle bracket is/are out of adjustment.
And yes, if the stiff wire inside the sheath is attached too far from the pivot point on the throttle lever, moving the lever very little will cause the wire to move a great distance, although I don't ever recall seeing one that is so far off that it would make as much difference as you describe.

The governor has two places to attach the throttle cable. One closer to the end to allow for more travel and one further down to allow less. Would that be the problem?

Remove the cable, start it and by hand move the gov arm to increase the engine speed, you should feel the gov push back .If not it may need to be adjusted.
If you go to the tech section just download the kohler manual and it shows you the procedure to set the governor.

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.
