If you do get that pulley you're gonna need a shorter belt too.

also i don't understand the pitch dia for type A and B belts how is this measured?
If you don't mind me asking what other sizes did you try? and do you think going a bit smaller with the lower HP is good or not?
Muzzy how often do you have to reapply the pb blaster? just once per use or mid way through?

Best I can tell the pitch diameter is where the belt rides. Our belt is equivalent to an A belt so effective diameter would be 3.4". I tried a 2/1/2 pulley first, way way too fast and belt slipped all the time. Then tried a 3.25" pulley which was good but a too fast for fluffy snow so I went to this 3.4" now and 90% throttle with light snow is perfect! And if it's wet heavy stuff then I'll give her wide open throttle. I found if you run it too fast with light fluffy stuff you end up wearing it all! So I just adjust the throttle according to how wet the snow is. Your results may vary but two years worth of tinkering has led me to this setup.

Well.... Best of what I tried for sure. Have used it three times in the past two weeks and I'm very happy with it. To me any smaller didn't really yield better performance and of course too fast is harder on your equipment. You'll be happy with it I'm sure of it

I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like you will need to adjust the linkage between the carb. & governor arm.

Should be able to adjust the throttle cable to pull farther.

This is correct.
aldiesel,
Go to our technical section "tractors" download the "K" series service manual. It will tell you everything you need to know. If you can't find it, let us know and someone will post a link.

aldiesel stated the GOVERNED speed was low. By adjusting the throttle cable will not change the governed speed. The maximum governed speed is controlled by the fly weights on the governor.

If the throttle cable is not adjusted correctly the engine may not be allowed come up to the speed that would kick the governor. However I have seen cases where the linkage was not set correctly and that will indeed change the governed speed up or 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.
