Speed Lever and Throttle Lever Walking
Hey everyone!
Glad to be here. I just bought myself a IH 782 and am loving the heck out it. I am about 5 mows of a 4 acre lot in to its ownership and am having some issues. I downloaded the manual, but it does not list how to fix these issues. First, the throttle lever. When I bring it out of N, if I let go of the lever it will start walking itself up to the fastest setting within a couple of seconds. So basically I have to drive with one hand on the wheel and one hand constantly keeping the throttle lever at the desired speed. How do I go about tightening this lever? I know there is a speed detent which helps not bring the lever above a certain speed, but I just want this thing to sit still and not move while I'm trying to mow. Second, the throttle lever will not stay at full power (rabbit). I push it up to full power and it will immediately drop to half power. Is the throttle line too tight? I opened the hood tried adjusting the tightness on some of the nuts, but to no avail. Can anybody give me some advice here? Gonna restore it to its former beauty, so I'll keep ya'll updated! Thank you!

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.
