If you are trying to mow in 3rd with a Cub you would save time by using a push mower. I just rebuilt my Cub this year and it does ok in 2nd now, but that is with a 42" mower and a new motor. I don't know what size deck you have under it, but I would consider myself lucky if it mows what you need to in 2nd gear. I myself mow 2.5 acres a week with a 42" deck in 1st gear and it takes me 3 hours. You can figure 2nd is twice as fast as first or a little faster. You need to remember that 3rd gear on a Cub is like road gear on any other tractor. This is just my 2 cents worth. Bill {Antique Acres}
