2005 GT 2554, No power
Hey Everyone in new here and i just bought a 2005 GT 2554 mower. It runs fine on flat ground and when i hit a hill you can feel it start to get slower and slower, this is without the mower on. Get to the top and it speeds up. Also on flat ground i turn the deck on and it takes forever to get the blades up to mowing speed. It also shakes the crap out of the tractor. Once they are spinning at speed and i get into the grass you can hear it suck the power from the Engine, i bet I'm not moving 1/4 speed of what i should be able to mow at. The grass was dry and I'm only cutting around 1/2 to 3/4 inch of grass. Oh and supposed to be serviced buy the dealer when i picked it up, but it was a as/is consignment piece. Sorry for the long post.

Sadly it kind of sounds like you bought a pig in a poke, and possibly it is only running on 1 cylinder?????
Might want to speak with the "servicing dealer" as to what was done and it's condition when it was done.

What George said. I have a GT2550 pretty much the same tractor and it has plenty of power.

Kind of hard to diagnose your problem with the info you have given. You mention that the muffler has been replaced. Why? Just thinking off the top of my head that maybe when the muffler was replaced that whoever worked on it didn't get the throttle cable properly setup. On the 2550 I have the cables are mounted to the top of the muffler heat shield so they would have had to remove them to replace the muffler. Maybe it's not getting full throttle?
Is it running on both cylinders? What have you done to diagnose the problem?

You may have a cylinder misfiring or a governor problem.

The only reason the tractor slows down is because the engine slows under a load. I havent got it into the shop yet, im just looking for areas to start looking. I dont know why the exhaust was replaced but buy looking at the grill id say that it got hit.

I'd start by checking the plugs, as you say "it shakes the crap out of the tractor"
If they are ok & both firing and have what seems to be good compression, Then on to the governor/carb linkage to see it it is opening when a load is applied, like it should.

My father had a problem with his snowblower that had no power and would rev up fine, but when you load it to blow snow, would die right down and labor so that the snow barely came out of the chute. On that machine, the nut holding the arm to the governor shaft loosened up allowing the shaft from the governor to spin independently of the arm, thereby making the governor inoperative. Along with Sam's suggestion of checking the throttle cables for proper adjustment, maybe the governor was tinkered with as well.

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.
