Default still to much juice at the points
heys guys, i've done searches for the answer to this question and still no answer, so i'm gonna throw it out for ya'll. i am having a problem with to much juice at the points. i have rewired the tractor from the VR back as per the wiring diagram from the tech section on here. i know the VR, coil, points, condensor, S/G are good BUT when you turn the key on to try and fire it up, it get's so hot at the points that it melts the plastic thus ruining the points. i'm at wits end here so ALL answers will be GREATLY appreciated!!!! i am sorry for being so annoying, but i've tried and checked everything i can think of. thanks, jeff

You have the wrong coil in it. It should have an internal resister coil. Only 6 volts to the points.

The points will only get the Value of the Voltage from the Battery, NOTHING more.

If you are melting the plastic insulator on the points......you have too much AMPERAGE DRAW or LOAD on that circuit.

so is what mmzullo said the possible reasoning behind my trouble? i went back and cleaned the leads with a dremel and found the letters stamped on them and went back and wired it correctly, i even triple checked my self and had my dad come back behind me and check. so i know everything is correct. i'm only gonna take so much aggravation from the 100 and "BAM" it's gonna be for sale!!!! thanks Mr. Bedell jeff

All my Kohler Ignition Coils are 12 Volts.

If you have it wired correctly and if you have the correct parts on your ignition system, then you will have NO problems.

I once tried a high performance coil that was not internal resistor, and was that not bad enough, left ignition on upon quitting working on a non running tractor. Came back next morning and battery was dead. Thunk on it a while during the day, with battery on charge (out of tractor) Then I went to hook battery up, and got a BIG ARC. Hooked up positive leads and grounded to metal to see what was up, and found points lead smoking. checked points next and points were fried. So was coil. Lucky was I that battery was weak, and died quick.

Either you have a non-internal resistor coil, the coil is shorted, the condenser is shorted, or the wire from the points to the coil is shorted. It can ONLY be those things to be causing your problem. Should help narrow it down for you. If it were me, I'd go buy a new correct coil and condenser, change the points, and the wire from them to the coil. It could probably use it anyway, and it'll fix your problem

ok, that makes some sense, i really don't understand it, but..... is that why there was a ceramic type piece that was zip tied to the coil? there were no wires connected to it when i got it, and i got it to run great till the carb started leaking WAY bad without it being connected. thank you very much!!!! jeff

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.
