Default Deck speed 3225
Hey folks, posting pictures today of the setup. I stuck new blades on it last week and now when I first engage the PTO (for about 30 seconds or so of driving) the blades spin pretty slow. It picks up speed after that, until I hit a somewhat thick spot (shouldn't come close to too thick for mowing) it's maybe 2 inches of grass it's cutting, but it's dense areas of grass it starts to do this. Any reason why this might be? I just regreased all the bearings on the deck as well. Kind of stumped. The engine does not bog down at all, so I wouldn't think it would be an engine issue. Also, after the mower has been running for a long time and I turn it off, if I start it within 5 minutes or so it has a hell of a time starting back up. It starts up great cold, and runs perfect otherwise.


Thanks again for your knowledge!

I should point out, I've already cleaned the carbs and jets, replaced air filter, new plugs, and new fuel filter. I have not ran any seafoam through yet, that's next on my list.

Mike, Dale is probably correct. If you have a tachometer you can check your belts. With the engine at full throttle(3600 rpm) your output shaft where you hook up the deck shaft should be spinning 2000 rpm. If you are turning that, then you could have an issue with the deck belt.

I don't have a tachometer. It doesn't appear to be slipping bit it's possible. An odd thing I noticed is it increases speed when i turn the steering wheel to the left, though sometimes it's full speed already before turning the wheel, other times when the deck is going slow, if I turn to the left the speed really picks up as well as the engine revs up as if it's pulling the throttle up. Could something else be lose?

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.
