You guys are the best Not quite done yet, however....the governor is (what I believe correctly referred to as) 'chasing'. Pulls towards the engine side while fast idling. Back and forth... especially at higher rpm. It's like the governor wants to surge faster. I had checked to make sure the carb is all the way open when the governor shaft is as far left as it can go, etc. Adjusted that as per a really good youtube video. And, have the usual settings - 3rd hole in governor shaft and top hole in speed bracket. Other than that, never did anything with the governor (like you guys are surprised to hear that?!?) As things are now, I'm afraid that when I try to mow with it I'll have issues with the rpm changing constantly - been there and done that with the old engine. AND...most disappointing is that there is still a transmission leak somewhere. A few drips after the engine runs, then seems to stop. Thought the new cork gasket would have fixed that. Oh well....can't have it all I suppose.

You are absolutely correct...'85...title track from his solo album of the same name....I'm impressed! CCR (or Fogerty for that matter) quite honestly was not really one of the bands that I followed or listened to a whole lot, although I used to play the ubiquitous "Proud Mary" at nearly every wedding reception our group had. By mid-80s I was deeply into the whole Windham Hill / new age genre - especially the guitar guys like Will Ackerman, Michael Hedges, and pianist George Winston, etc. - the fingerstyle guitar and the altered tunings had a huge influence on the style of my own playing, compositions and recordings. I still think the 70s was a truly amazing time musically especially from the progressive rock standpoint - loved bands like Yes (especially), Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, and so forth. CSNY too....lots of amazing talent in all of those bands. Can't forget others like the Beach Boys (Brian Wilson is a definite pop music genius) and The Who (Townshend another genius)

Adjust the neutral before you worry about the carb adjustment. don't drive the bracket all the way to the top, just nudge it enough to stop the wheels from turning after you set it in "neutral" with the pedal. Don't lock the pedal down or the brakes will stop the wheels.

Go forward and back with the lever, then hit the pedal again. should stop the wheels. If not, adjust the bracket until it does. Slop in the linkage will often result in a situation where it will go in neutral from forward by hitting the pedal, but if you are going in reverse and hit the pedal, it doesn't quite make it into true neutral. Sometimes that's the best you can achieve.

Throttle "hunting" or going up and down in RPMs is usually a carb adjustment. Follow instructions in the manual, I think 2 turns open on the main jet and 2-1/2 turns on the idle jet to start. Put some load on the engine (engage the mower) and make small adjustments as described in the manual.

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.
