well ol' george was right. The 2 meters i have or (had) werent reading the voltage right. borrowed my buddies fluke and its reading properly now. still no charge tho... S/G is reading output of 12.84 volts after it was rebuilt. its only making enough to maintain the battery but no charge. i went to my local cub cadet dealer and asked him about it. he said its my voltage regulator thats doing it. but my question is, if the S/G is only putting out 12.84 volts how is my V/R going to get it to over 13.5 volts to charge the battery?

Ground the field wire on the generator while @ full rpms, then read voltage with the good meter,@ the battery, if it reads 14V or better, problem is with the regulator, or wiring to/from it.
The voltage reg adjusts the field current ( more excitment) to produce the proper charge.
More field current= more voltage/greater charge.

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Thank you Ol'George. Once I grounded the F and put the meter on the battery it climbed right up to charging. Now just gotta pick up a new V/R.

Now make SURE you get the right one!!
Many aftermarket/will fit ones, have the terminals marked different but in the same place/location.
That screws with your mind, unless you understand the system, and how things work.
Once you buy the reg. you own it, no refunds on electrical parts after you smoke them. so there goes your savings.
buy the right one the first time, end of story.

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.
