Governor Adjustment
Thanks for the video. I know how to set the governor. I just had issues when I removed the nut and confirming I had the cross shaft and tab in the correct orientation in relation to governor. I'll set it tonight when I get home.

thanks for the help and stuff guys.

Mr OldCubby. I don't think you are understanding..... It doesn't matter if you point the tab on the arm strait up in the air. When you adjust the governor, it positions the tab to the correct location. It MAKES NO DIFFERENCE which way it is facing. You'll fix it's orientation when you adjust it.

Hmmmm that interesting...I thought I read somewhere that the cross shaft should never rotate more then 1/8 of a rotation and if it does, then that tab could be busted off.. If that is true...then how can I rotate the tab straight up in the air and it'll "rotate" down to the governor properly? I'll figure it out tonight when I get home

I was merely trying to make a point. You can't actually point it straight up. Just go home and adjust the governor and don't over think it. It's pretty simple. It will be fine.

I apologize, but I don't know how to link certain threads, yet. But here is where I read that I shouldn't be able to rotate the governor shaft more then 1/8. Which in my block is true....I can't rotate the shaft more then 1/8 turn. So the governor shaft needs to be in the correct location to rotate that 1/8 turn to make contact with the governor. Or I am just going crazy...

the governor weight assembly is lower than the cross shaft so the tab hangs downward. I've seen the brass governor nuts bind up the cross shaft before, they are just a tad too long. A thin washer or grind a bit off the brass nut will keep them from going to deep and hitting the spacer on the cross shaft. I've been shortening the brass nut and I try to keep the shaft end play minimal.

This makes sense....my new nut when tighten down to the proper in-lbs binds the cross shaft to where it won't rotate. I'll grind down the nut a little at a time until I get it with minimal play and rotates freely.

torque the brass nut? I've never done that before. I just use common sense tight.

The manual calls out 100/120 in-lbs of torque for the bushing nut. I guess I use common sense if I read the manual

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.
