Gear will vary depending on mowing conditions. Hi first or second would be a good starting point.

The throttle should be Full Throttle, then you pick your ground speed.

On my old GT second is too slow, 3rd is too fast. Both in final high ratio selector. Main reason I bought a hydro drive John Deere to do the main mowing. But I like the old Sears machine.
