More power with just a twist of a screw
My 125 had been "not so strong" when mowing in heavy grass lately. It's been raining a LOT here in NE PA so the heavy grass has become more frequent.
I was getting ready to mow today as I was checking the oil and topping off the gas, I noticed the clamp type governor bracket on the carb stem / butterfly seem to have a little clearance. I moved the rod and there was a decent amount of play. I tightened fitting ( I used an impact driver BY HAND since it was short enough to fit ) and when I mowed, the full power was back. The red arrow is pointing to the clamping device I tightened up. With the engine off, move the linkage to full throttle and the screwdriver goes from the front. Sometimes it's the simple things that work |

Yes it is. I was wondering why it was low on power as I rebuilt it a few years ago. Turned out full throttle wasn't under load

Good job Jeff.
Might want to check governor calibration now. Might be off a bit still. |

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.
