it is possible... or the gear could be toast.. Could have been shot already when you got the tractor.

From what you described the engine might not have been getting enough fuel to rev until after you cleaned carb and let it get more fuel.

Fortunately I have a big John Deere tractor with a finish mower so Ill use that this year. Ill pull the engine on the Cub and see whats inside. Any pointers you want to give me on how to pull the engine? Anything major to watch for or prepare for? This will be my first time pulling an engine.

Thx.

Pulling the engine is not real difficult. Label stuff as necessary so the reinstall goes easy. Get some help if need be to lift the engine out. Its not real heavy but some people prefer a helping hand.

Just sumting to add if you are still tinkering....
In a normal situation, the governor arm (pictured with arrow) kinda just flops back and forth when the engine is not running.
When the engine is running, it should appear to be locked in one direction. If you try to move it by hand in the opposite direction you should be able to move it but feel it trying to resist you. That resistance is the governor weights doing their job. If you are able to still flop the governor arm back and forth like when the engine was not running, I would say you have an internal problem.

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.
