Default 127 hydro friction adjust

How do I adjust the friction for my speed control arm? It moves way to easy and I have to keep one hand on the lever to control speed.

acutally it's like 1-1/16 inch. There is an article on cubfaq.com that tells the process. I never could get a 15/16 on, but moved up to a 1-1/16 or maybe even 1-1/8 and got it right on the nut.... It is kinda a pain!

If you have access to some machining tools and a bit of scrap steel, my dad made an adjustment tool that goes on a 3/8" ratchet or breaker bar. Similar to a crow's foot wrench. Works really well, and allows you to really fine tune it as long as you have the battery out. Good luck!

crow's foot is what I used, sorry I forgot to mention it... One of those cases where Harbor Freight comes in handy

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.
