I agree Kelly.

I'm gonna say the meter isn't correct.

Probably set wrong; I had one that would read about 7000rpm until I changed to the wasted spark setting. 7000/2=3500 so I'd guess he isn't that far off. If anything, he'd want 7200rpm.

Guys, if the meter is set wrong, it would read lower. I.E. if it was set to wasted spark, it would read really low. If it was set to 2 cyl it would read low, and so on. On a single cylinder engine with no wasted spark, there isn't a setting that would make it read faster. So..... that just leaves the meter didn't work, or wasn't reading correctly.

Sorry took so long guys. Work kickin my butt. The guage I have is nothing special. A piece of tape i placed around flywheel and RpMs are measured. I since borrowed a buddy guage and mine was way out compared to his. I've got it set now at 3600 wot.

I'm in the process of changing hydro fluid. Before I go ahead with that I have a concern.

While at a stand still the engine holds RPMs fine. As soon as I move the speed control lever to go The engine loses RPMs drastically. Could this be a fluid/filter issue? My concern is, if I change the fluid (expensive for hytran), Am I possibly wasting it due to me possibly having to fix hydro issues.

This tractor has been sitting a bit and I have no idea how long or old fluid/filter are/is.

I'm gonna gap new points to eliminate that and hopefully get timing down right. It's not sputtering at all so It's gotta be close.

Sounds like you need to reset the governor. I doubt the hydro fluid or filter has anything to do with the RPM's dropping off like that.

Kelly is right. But, there is RPM drop to any engine once a load is put on it. Even with everything set right, it will still drop to a certain extent. If you don't know how to reset the governor, consult the "K" series service manual.

You DO NOT gap points to set them. You set the timing. If you don't know how, here's a How-To:

I had the same drop-off, of RPM under load (light). The various holes for springs , can be changed, to increase sensitivity of the governor response. It can dramatically help or hurt the "drive-ability". The manual describes the how to. But you have to read it carefully. My 149, now is very responsive to changing load conditions. It became a much more docile, but ready to perform tractor. And that makes it fun!

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.
