1541 governor issue
I have a 1991 CC 1541 with the Kohler Command 15 engine.
I haven't had any issues till recently. The last few times I used the tractor, everything works as it should till the engine warms up. After it's warmed up, the engine races when there is no load. (tractor is stopped, mower not operating) I have a Tiny Tach hooked up to it, and when I'm mowing, at full throttle, the engine is running at just under 3600 rpm. It used to remain around 3600 when I turned off the mower. I first noticed it while picking up brush in my yard. I had the tractor stopped, running about 1/4 throttle ( around 2000 rpm) All of a sudden, the engine started to race, and I noticed when I pulled the throttle to idle, it had increased to around 5000 rpm. Idle, no load is around 3800 after it's warmed up. It did the same thing again this afternoon while cleaning up the garden, and again while mowing. As soon as I shut off the mower, the rpm increased to over 4000 rpm unless the tractor was moving, or the mower was engaged. I looked at the throttle and governor linkages, and don't see anything wrong externally. What would cause this issue? thanks much, Mike Schweim

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.
