Well some bad new the Governor gear is shot. Adjusted to the way the kohler repair manual wants and it just wants to take off i just cut the ignition and closed the throttle by hand. I picked up a 551 blower today so now i am kinda committed to this machine.

Don't write it off yet. When I first got my 2185 running I had to do all of the adjustment several times due to PO "adjusting" things. I ran into the same thing that you just described which was solved by readjusting the throttle cable.
Just to be sure: you adjusted the governor counter clockwise wile holding the throttle lever at carb against the stop (wot) and re tightened it this way?

Yes sir i even adjusted to three time to make sure i didn't mess up i printed the page and kept re reading it. If i feel the gov lever when it starts it doesn't even attempt to pull the throttle close it just goes WOT and stays even it the throttle is the idle position. I'm gonna pull the back plate off tomorrow and inspect the gear.

Hopefully you did not pay a lot for the 1864.

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.
