As mentioned. How tall is your grass. These are lawn mowers not bush hogs. The 184 has the same engine as the Farmall Cub (8-9HP). The 184 has domed pistons, Zenith carburetor and increased RPM to get 18HP. One common cause for lack of power is a low governed RPM. Make sure you have 2510 no-load RPM. A couple hundred RPM makes a big difference. Of course the governor has to be working as well. As load increases, does the engine try to maintain RPM. If not maybe a new governor spring would help. One way to check would be to drive in second gear up a steep incline. You should hear the engine try to maintain RPM. This should all be checked with the engine fully warmed up. The throttle lever assembly is a weak link. Often the throttle cable anchor under the dash is bent which prevents getting full RPM. Also, general tune-up. Plugs, points and timing. Check adjustment of the mower deck. Make sure the front of the deck is not pitched up. If it is, the mower has to cut the grass twice. Make sure the deck is level front to back. If anything have the front of the deck down about 1/8".

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
