I actually have been reconsidering upping blade speed since I rebuilt the carb and replaced a missing spring on the governor.
My mower has ridiculous power now and burns less fuel.
So I could run at a lower engine RPM for most mowing if the blades would spin fast enough.
Problem is a good portion of my field is way too bumpy to run the mower along as fast as I would like to go.
So if I could find smaller sheaves for the blades or a bigger one for the engine drive shaft.
