Lmao.. IKR lol. Its sorta baffling I agree but I know something is a miss. These machines were meant for torque not speed. Seems this one has both for some unknown reason but I will get to the bottom of it. Btw. Stock size tires. Might even be original tires for all I know. I also sought the old man and original owner asked someone to make it go faster lol. It did sit for 5 years or so but if something is stuck it's not in the external linkage.

Maybe you better back it off if it's too much for you. Detune that pig. Don't want you to rip your dress getting on and off of it.
It does close to 8 at idle...sorry your stumped but it is what it is. I know I've been behind the wheel of more power and speed than you could ever dream of that also is what it is. The dress remark is just you feeling insecure and lashing out. It's just a tractor buddy.. relax

Well there is your answer...It has been sitting for five years. See old hydros build up kinetic energy from non use. So, when you start stroking that handle well...things start a happening so hang on for the ride! That's what I was always told.

Lol. I doubt that all of that but whatever.
They won't go that fast. I've heard all this before from other people on here. If it goes 8 mph at an idle and faster than 10 wide open, I want to see the speedo on the truck following it. I've had a few that were faster than others. Had one I swore ran 12... but never checked it. They weren't made all that precisely, and some are just faster than others. It happens, but lets get real. A hydro can't go that fast unless it has been modified.

This is a hilarious thread! I'm getting a kick out of it! A speed racing 129.

Oh, I'm not stumped buddy. You are! I'm not the one trying to fix the tractor.

Cooperino, we are just having some fun. Maybe post a video and show us what is happening with the linkage and how fast it seems to be moving.

I guarantee it is not going 8 at idle. You would have to see that kind of mod
The engine would be lugging pretty hard also.

No no no.. I will not be putting it back together to prove anyone wrong. I won't be making a video of how fast it goes "refer to previous statement" I really do not feel the need to prove anything to anyone here. I don't care what any of you guarantee or think you know what can or can't be when it comes to this. I operate all kinds of equipment daily and know when I am on a piece of equipment that is dangerous to operate. The fact that any of you have asked me to video myself doing something that I have already said is unsafe is ludicrous to me. I hope you don't go putting people who may know less in danger like this but it's apparent you most likely would since none of the people saying this worried about safety at the time. I will do my own investigating into this and repair as necessary before putting it back together and only run it after it is safe to do so. For any of you who said "oh its a left hand hydro and they are different" IDIOTS. I don't care what side the handle is on. Cub never made these tractors to act this way as I have stated several times. I may have been being jovial about the whole situation and laughing some because the tractor almost threw me off but if any of you can honestly tell me that these were built to be able to throw a 6'2 225 pound guy off at half throttle no matter how fast you move that lever or how far from neutral you push it I would be shocked. At this point I'm sure someone here will somehow rationalize a way to say yeah! they are suppose to do that... pffftt..

I get it that many of you here feel that since you have owned a bunch of cubs you think that if its never happened to you it just can't happen. Many of you think you have seen it all and nothing will ever be new to you. Well guess what none of you "know it all" Even all the people here combined do not know it all and furthermore have not seen everything there is to see. In this life when you stop learning and experiencing new things your dead.

Cooperino, man..... I get it. You've driven fast stuff, and you've worked on a lot of things. But you must not understand how these hydro's are put together. Listen, there is a swashplate inside that contols the speed but changing the stroke of the pistons on the pump. When at full speed in forward, or reverse, the swashplate comes into contact with the case of the hydro. It CAN'T go any farther. You can't make it faster. It can physically only move so far. The ONLY way to speed one up like you say this one is, is if you took the hydro apart, and ground off the back of the swashplate or the case. That's it. You can't do anything with the linkage, and nothing can break to make it faster. It has an internal mechanical limit. I'm sure that not all the CC tractors full forward lets the swashplate rest on the stop, and that is why some tractors are faster than others, but man...... it can't be doing what you say. It has to be that it just scares you and you think it's faster than it is. I'm sorry that makes you mad..... but it's fact.

Go ahead and tear it all apart. Let us know what you find. But you aren't going to find anything. All you will find is some worn out linkage. Fixing it will change the response, but not the speed unless you slow it down.

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.
