That's probably going to raise the rear enough to tilt the rear of the deck up and throw off the geometry of the carriage. They don't make lawn and garden tires for 13" wheels, either.

Excuse my ignorance, but why is this such a huge deal? I haven't crunched the numbers, but you probably won't even increase your speed by 1 mph. The deck will cut better if you are going a little slower, anyway. The tractors with the fast second gear go a little too fast to do a good job mowing in some conditions.

Just get a trans out of a later model. It would be easier to change out the whole rear then piecing the trans gears together. Or even to find 13" wheels and tires.

Don't bother with getting larger tires. By the time you get tires with a diameter that will actually increase the speed of the tractor, the mower deck will probably not fit and if it does it will not sit level or cut properly. You are much better off finding a transmission with a 19 tooth second if you want a faster second gear. I have a 106 and I quit mowing with it because the 19 tooth was too fast for my liking.

I like to cut in 3rd with my 1200. Got to mow bout twice a week during the growing season, but it sure is nice blowing through the yard in about 20 minutes.

No kidding...if I did that I'd have to visit the chiropractor after every mowing. Not to mention mowing that fast isn't the safest thing to do, either.

No neck brace and yes, as long as I keep the yard short, I can cut in third. Guy next door with the murray gets torqued. It is amusing when I go out after he's got bout a third done. Then when I am blowing the grass clippings off the deck and putting the 1200 back in the shed he still has a third left.

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.
