Someone told me I should put a new governor on. They didn’t really explain why. Should I? Why?

Looking forward to the answers you get . Is the governor assembly prone to failure?

One word, insurance.
At old age, they are prone to failure. |

Got it, much like their owner operator - me! I knew of the discussions on balance gears, but not of the governor assy. Thanks ...and I appreciated the discussion on honing/ Ring ridge, etc. Great post.

I’m leaning towards getting it bored. Although I can’t afford to right now and wasn’t expecting to need to have it bored. This project is very sadly on pause. I’d rather sadly wait until I can afford to bore, rather than throw it together as is and something go wrong.

You will need to get the block checked out and measured first, before you order a rebuild kit that way you will know just what size piston and rod to get.

I ordered a standard size rebuild kit from isavetractors which is super high quality. A lot of things could still be used. Just gotta trade for a different piston/rings and rod…

Called a local ish shop and they estimated $65 to bore my motor. Should I have them cross hatch it also if they offer that? I know many folks weren’t impressed with our cross hatching job…

Yes! You should also ask about valve seats and crank journal as well as any other technical issues.

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.
