You cannot adjust the governor to speed up the mower. The governor is designed to keep the engine running at a steady speed wherever you have the throttle set. The only way to speed up the mower is to open up the throttle. On a Cub you might as well forget about mowing in 3rd geard. That is road gear to a Cub and it does not have enought power to mow and pull itself. It was not designed to mow in that gear. As for the mower turning too fast, you can never have it turn too fast. The faster it turns the better vacuum you get, hence the better cut. A Cub's PTO is designed to run directly off the crank. That is why it turns faster than a normal 540 pto and in the opposite direction. I know with my Cub, if I keep my yard cut regularly then I can mow in 2nd, if not then it's first. I would consider yourself doing well if you can mow in 2nd all the time. Of course a flat yard helps. I hope this has answered your question. Bill {Antique Acres}
