Is My S/G Charging?
Hi all, long time reader, first time poster. I recall reading an article for troubleshooting the S/G on the Cub Cadets (Mine is a 124) that said to ground the "F" Terminal. If the battery meter leans towards the "C" the voltage regulator is bad. If there is no change, the S/G is bad. Well, when running, my CC hovers either towards the "D" or in the middle of the gauge, depending on the RPM's, occasionally leaning towards the "C" Well, when I grounded the "F" terminal, the gauge went all the way over to "D". does this mean my S/G is actually charging? I'd expect it to actually show it as charging on the meter.

D = Discharge
C = Charge  If the S/G pegs the meter towards the D side, when the F terminal is grounded, I would suspect that either something is hooked up wrong, or you might have the wrong S/G. Pictures would be helpful....

I think your ammeter is wired backwards...
Put your voltmeter across the battery with the engine running. You should have about 13.5V if everything is working correctly, and you'll probably have 14+ when the F terminal is grounded. If you have less than ~13.5V and grounding the F terminal results in a voltage increase, it is not the S/G. If grounding the F terminal does nothing, it's the S/G.

Thanks guys! I'll check everything out sometime this weekend. Went to go and try it a few minutes ago, but something appears to be plugging up the fuel line going into the carb. No biggie, I'll disconnect it, and drain everything, then blow through the lines. Not going to do it anytime this week, as it's insanely humid/hot outside now, and it's only 10:45.
I will take pictures soon. Here are a couple I took when I picked it up, before I cleaned it off.   Not in the best of shape, but everything is solid, and it'll make a good restoration project.

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.
