Default Not necessary
I don't think the six pin driver and fine splines are necessary at all! I would agree with a red spring but I think your spending money that doesn't need to be spent. Been pulling a 104 for three years now with a red spring and a 10% overdrive and doing real well. Governor get your governor set right and you will do well! Most people don't know how to set a governor at all for pulling! My two cents!

and then reset the stop so its at 3800. there is a setup I like to use that when they tack you it will read 3800 , 4000 or whatever. but when you get going down the track it raise's 200 rpm . there's also another setup I like to use that makes the governor very sensitive to any amount of load.

I actually like third or so hole up and get as much stretch on the governor spring as I can. It's the best when the tractor sounds horrible until 3/4 of the way down the track and then the governor takes over!

Do you use a pulling hitch or the stock hitch?

I build a pulling hitch that is adjustable, angle iron 1 piece of flat stock, and some 5/8 ready rod. Easy to build if I get a chance I will snap a pic

I read up on the governor. It is set from the factory with the spring on the 3rd hole going up and 2nd hole going down. It also said that increasing the distance of the spring increases the sensitivity of the governor. What is the best way to go with the spring? 3/3, 4/3, etc. Is there a danger of making the governor too sensitive and over revving the engine? At what point would that be? 6/6?

I actually have a 10% overdrive in a junk rear end I bought. Does it make that big of a difference?

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.
