Hello guys,
I picked up a very clean 1862 with a kohler magnum 18 a few days ago.
425 hours on it. Looking to mow with it and take care of it. (also have a beautiful 1450 in the garage)
The governor will not adjust to function properly....I have tried per the kohler manual. Not sure if it is missing a spring, or the governor internals are bad.
Could someone post a picture of the 18 magnum governor linkage set up?

Also if it is the governor internals that are bad.....how horrible is it to replace?

Thanks
Ted

It's pretty horrible. The engine has to come completely apart. The gov is the first thing to go back in during reassembly.

when I give the engine throttle, it will continue to rev up and up higher....too high.
When mowing, it bogs down and will not maintain RPM, I have to literally keep my hand on the throttle and constantly give it more or less to maintain RPM......unless I am on level groung and not mowing.

My 782 did this once, and it was because the throttle cable was horribly out of adjustment. I'd try that first. I can't remember off the top of my head which was I had to move the cable...I don't have the tractor in front of me, either.

Also, I did disconnect the throttle cable completely and ran the engine.
When I give it more throttle, it does not try to push back against my finger to reduce RPMS

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.
