My problem is not fixed. It’s pretty tight but still “takes off”. What gives.

Check to be sure your trunnion is not worn, missing springs ect ect...

The trunion is in good shape. This is the pump I swapped a ported pump into from a low hour 1862. I changed over the plate from the old pump to hook up for the 123 linkage.

The issue is the tractor when under a load pushes the lever up to max speed. Just driving around the yard does not do it since adjusting the tension but it does it when I'm making it work, last night I was running my cultivator to level out my garden.

This would only be a guess from me, but may maybe you've got a lot of crap down there in that friction washer stuff that is not letting it hold, or maybe broken spring. Taking it apart to check, undoubtedly not fun, but????

I was thinking the spring might be an issue, based on how much it compressed down (Post #6). I don't even want to think about replacing that. I parted out the other 123 and no longer have that piece, and it was a SOB to get apart just to get that out.

Looks like fun to me!
You may have to do one of those PO modes it see, adding some springs to the go go arm.

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.
