Good to know. Thanks. Right now I am getting the fine splined carrier installed along with the new clutch. When I get it back, I'll install the underdrive. That should do me pretty well this season while I am waiting to rebuild the engine.

OK, the new clutch, driveshaft, fine splined rear end, and 20% underdrive is in. The three puck clutch really grabs. Any tips for slipping it at the start? The guy set it up to easily slip at the end of the pull.

Also thinking about getting a Lakota governed carb to add a couple of hp. Is it worth the money?

Thanks

To slip the clutch at the start just let the clutch out slowly as you would with any other clutch. You only have to move the plate about .020 of an inch to fully disengage it.

As far as the Lakota governor carb without additional mods I am not sure you are going to bolt it on and add two HP. Don may have a different opinion on this though. I'm going to be sending them a core to be modified soon. I hope to talk to Don Samples when he gets it.

I have tried slipping it at the start but it just grabs and goes no matter how slowly I let it out. Maybe it will loosen up a bit over time. Once engaged, it is very easy to slip.

My understanding is that the Lakota carb flows gas from the and jet and idle jet so more fuel is provided.

What clutch disc are you using?

All the carbs do that even in stock form. Lakota reworks them to flow more. But again without the correct cam and RPM it may very well be a waste of money.

What I'm getting at is..... If you are bolting it on a 4,000 rpm engine that has a stock cam and you are expecting a 2hp gain you may very well be disappointed.

OK, point taken on the carb. I am using a Zach Kerber, three puck with a red spring.

Without being hooked up to a sled it may not slip. You need some force acting against the tractor.

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.
