Check out the Charging System. It is either the Starter/Generator, Voltage Regulator, or some wiring issue. See.... Test

New battery?? They did fill it, right? Check all of the connections also.

To Roland:
I did the continuity check, both wires are good. It took a while to figure out what wires were what as there really are no distinguishable colors. but I found out what they are using a wiring diagram I found on the internet a while ago that I just noticed was submitted by a "R. Bedell". Great diagram ! I've seen a few and yours was easiest to read and looks true. I ordered a new V/R, I'm pretty sure that's it. I don't think the S/G is bad because I put a different one on that was in working order and still was not getting a charge. I'll let you know if the new V/R works. Thanks again.
Greg: if you're reading this... it is a new battery, filled and fully charged and my connections are all good. thank you also for the input, by the way your signature quote sounds like it should go under my name.

Bill

Roland's diagrams are in our "tech" section here on the site under "Technical Library-Tractors".

Don't forget to polorize your new regulator before starting your tractor!

Thanks for warning me about Re-polarizing... I didn't know. I'm reading how to in the test Rouland suggested above. Am I reading it right? A short jumper between the B & G terminals on the V/R ?

Does a VR that has been completely removed from a tractor need to be re-polarized?

It is actually the generator that is being polarized. Any time the battery, V/R, or S/G is disconnected the generator needs to be polarized.

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.
