Battery drain?
Just started Sat.
Started up my # 122 ran fine: Sunday start up & no power to start. Figure I left the key on? Put the charger on & less than 1 minute, starts right up. Let it sit overnight & dead again this morning. It's a good battery, but sitting overnight there is not enough power to start it. What does one do to narrow down the search for a battery drain? Thanks, Nik. |

My guess is a bad S/G. A bad one will suck the juice out of a new battery in no time. I had that happen on an ole Farmall B just after I put a new battery in it.

Pull off the positive cable from the battery overnight.
If it still will not start the next day, it ain't the tractors fault!! |

Check to see if the cutout part of the voltage reg is opening when you shut it off or you will be discharging through the S/G

I disconnected the battery, hooked it up this morning & lots of power & started right up.
WHAT does S/G stand for? Nik, How does one check out a voltage regulator ??? To find out if a lead is open? |

Nik, S/G is the Starter/Generator.

Now you disconnect the positive cable from the battery, then connect a 12 volt bulb between the cable and the battery post.
The bulb will light up. Start disconnecting things until the bulb goes out. When the bulb goes out, you have found the component that needs fixed/replaced. |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
