I'd say, yes-especially in the warmer months. You can tolerate a bit more voltage in the cold weather, but during the warmer months, this can lead to a overheated battery, and the electrolyte being boiled out of the battery. Better to see the running voltage at full engine speed 14.2-14.5 Volts.

Start with making sure the wire connections to battery, SG and regulator are nice, bright and tight. Including ground. And make sure the regulator is grounded properly. See what happens.

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.
