The different holes for the spring position on the governor arm change the sensitivity. You really should see where Cub suggests they are set. Different applications have different levels of sensitivity. For example, if you set the sensitivity as you would for a generator up on your tractor, you're going to find that the governor works too much. It will jump RPM at the slightest load. You don't want that. You want a nice smooth transition from non load to load. Not a quick "snap". You can set it more sensitive than the Cub manual states, but only by maybe 1 hole. Just depends on what you're doing with it.

Overall, glad you got it running the speed it should be!

I wish the two motors I swapped had the same gov arms, would have been easier to compare the two. The original arm on the 2284 had the gov arm with 6 holes as opposed to the 4 on the motor we swapped (newer engine, go figure). I actually ended up using hole three in the pic below as opposed to where it is when I took the pic. When I mowed over the weekend, she seemed smooth in rpm changes whether from thick grass, climbing hills, or whatever else. I get what you're saying about sensitivity setting and not wanting the rpm's to "snap" around like that.

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.
