Michael, are you referring to the cable adjustments or to the idle and high speed needle adjustments?

Help Support IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum:
I am going to re-build the carb, seems to be the best thing for it! So I will have to buy two kits because I have two to re-build! Although the one on the 1650 doesnt need as much of and overhaul as the one on the 104 needs. I read all the hydro stuff in the FAQ's, there sure is alot of it! I dont even know where to start now! I think I'll just finish up the 104 and then worry about the 1650! Good thing the 106 is just fine!
So far!
So far!

Stuart, look up top at CC Specialties...they have cable assys. With small pictures of them too. Look for box 'Electrical'.
Michael, I would place the throttle control lever in the idle position then make sure that the engine/carb end of the throttle cable is mounted as shown in the photos below. Then move the throttle control lever through it's range and observe the movement of the throttle on the carb, first with the engine off, then with it running. If all moves as it should with the engine off, but not with it running, then it might be that the governor needs adjusting.

ok any tips on adjusting the governer then
Richard--- looks great! Should make a big difference in how a head gasket lasts. If you will give me a while I can teach you a bit about being cheap.If you are worried about the valves hitting the head a bit of your kids playdough or just thick mud will do to cheak spacing. Just get it ALL out when done. As far as starting harder----- I would think the hp gain is fractional at best.

Michael...I usually end up with problems if I mess with governor without looking at the book. Your best bet is to get a Kohler service manual and go by their specs, have gotten them right on the nose every time.
Fourth grandkid made her apperence yesterday! One more to fit in the cub cart for a ride. Grandson goes out and beats on the shed door and yells "tractor" untill I open the door. Am going to need a larger cart. Am looking for a larger mortor box like the first series trailers. Wouldn;t mind two axles for firewood, the old CCO will tow a lot!
Brendan, were mortor boxes hand made or store bought???? Two sheets of 16 gauge would go a long ways along with four frount rims and tires. Am eyeing those stake pocket brackets that were posted earlier on that parts page.

The ones I have seen when I did housing construction were store bought, not sure where from but I don't think Lowes or Home Depo would carry something like that. I do remember they are real heavy.
Ken...another nice home built tool....I can see a hundred uses for that

At 11 PM tonight, I bolted a battery in, turned the key, bumped the starter, and it took right off. Ran it for about a minute. I need to adjust the governor and carb, as it's too rich and wants to run away. Might not make it to Red Power until Friday.
I captured the first start on video. When I figure out how to get that on the 'net I'll post a link.
