We managed to get the head replaced with the motor in the tractor. It runs pretty good, but could be better I'm sure. Having trouble figuring where exactly the throttle and governor springs go, if anyone has a top down picture I'd like to see if they are connected properly.
As it is, it is a terrible mower for the yard, spins out on every little hill it seems, can't hardly climb anything. Do I need wheel weights? Never used those before, are they generic or custom?
I don't think the rear brake controls are working, can't lock up a wheel in spin.
Any way to get more speed out of reverse?
Thnk-you

Brakes are easy to adjust, get some wheel weights for petes sake. Atleast 75 lb ea... will be a different machine. Dont have to be special. Cheap plastic covered cement weights for like 100 bucks will fit... ANY 12" weight will work... deere simpl bohlens etc...

Thanks for the picture Tim
First glance those weights aren't as easy to find as one would think.
Also forgot to mention, won't start with key, solenoid is good. Would it be that small black relay down by starter with like four wires in it?

There are multiple safety interlocks. Brake must be depressed, transmission in neutral, PTO off and seat occupied. If all interlock switches are made, then the relay energizes providing power to the starter solenoid. My 1864 does not have the relay. I have had to replace the key and brake switch as they both became unreliable. I also think my PTO has occasional random times of no continuity. So, the PTO is next to be replaced. After 20+ years with year round use, new switches are due.

Loading the tires with water or ballast fluid will make as much or more difference than wheel weights.. It is also a lot cheaper than weights. it will be a different machine with weights or ballast fluid or both.

Can I run a wire directly from key switch to relay?

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.
