I had kind of stalled out on the 882 over the winter, but finally got back to it and got it running. Boy this thing is nice! I put the cat 0 from XMW and have used it to move my 20' car hauler (tongue weight about 400lbs) around the yard and it works great!! *

I thought that the whole throttle assembly was NLA, but the cables are still available through Cub. So that solved that problem. When I bought the 882 the voltage regulator was fried, I bought a new regulator/ alt combo, as I installed it the PO just cut the wires along with the connector and I had to just match the wires up by color. The only thing is that when I turned the key to run the regulator started to spark!! I quickly turned the key off and now have to figure this new problem out. I have a feeling that there may be an issue with the wiring harness and that is why the original one burned out. So for now I use it would know charging system and just put on the battery tender every three or four times the use of the top battery backup since the mower deck is not attached yet. I may look into a completely new wiring harness, but am going to investigate first. Also the new reduction starter is hanging up every 3 or 4 times I go to start it and I have to tap in it. I am going to have to warranty it out. so while my diesel cub is running and I can drive around pulling the leaf sweeper and all that I still have to figure out some big issues before it's fully functional, but it will get there.*

Also my electric fuel pump is not working, and I need a new one. Where is the best place to buy one? All the ones I can find are $150 and I would like to try and spend less if possible.
