128 Starter keeps on starting
Ive got a new problem that has me stumped.
I fueled up my 128 to mow the back yard and I restarted it. The starter/generator stayed as a starter and the battery wire to the V/R started smoking. I disconnected it before it did any damage. I replaced the V/R and now when ever I put the battery wire on the post, my starter turns over even if the key is in the off position. I suspect a direct short inside the S/G. Any suggestions before I start disassembling S/G

always starting 128
I had that same problem on my 128. It reportedly had set for about 4-5 years UNDER a deck!!! Things were kinda stuck and I had a lot of cleaning to do. When I finally got around to re-installing the engine, every time I touched the positive cable to the battery, the engine turned over.
After thoroughty tracing all the wiring to it's supposed/stated ends, I tapped on the voltage regulator and the sparks didn't fly anymore!!!  After setting for so long, the points(which set?) inside the regulator had apparently stuck/corroded together. I didn't use a BFH and lots of muscle, I gently tapped the unit with a small ballpein hammer and that did the job. Give it a try. It may be the problem. FFGino. Happy Cubbing!!

Sounds like you have the wrong voltage regulator on it.
I don't have all of the information here with me but I believe if you remove the blue wire from the v/r it will stop doing that.

The starter solenoid is NOT the "electrical bridge" between the s/g and battery.
Go see OCC member Old Iron's write up on this matter.

When he said:
Quote:
No one here was saying that the solenoid is the "bridge". However, it is..... when you are starting the machine. Just not when it is charging the machine. To the OP: Perhaps a little clarity is in order as to which wire you are referring to as the "problematic" one.

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.
