Your right.. I only mentioned that because he said the battery was 2 years old and I thought he mentioned having to trickle charge it. I have gotten batteries that lasted 1.5 years and i have had some go almost 4 years. I accidentally let an almost brand new one freeze once Junk after 3 months. I knew there was a little drain on the battery and forgot about it.

then 11 dropped to 10.8 and started. 14.2 while running at starter.
Don't know where some of you guys went to school, but 14.2 - 10.8 = 3.4 Volts.

In my world, there is a problem.

Well, 12.5 is normal not running battery volts. So you go up or down from there. Not charging during crank is what they are considering.

He did not give a value for key off power from battery I don't think but will assume its about 12.5

Well in the mechanic world, 14.2 is alternator voltage. 12.5 (or whatever it was) is nominal battery voltage. Alternator and starter can't run at the same time, so you use nominal battery voltage as the base. 1.5V drop while cranking.... acceptable.

Edit: coop beat me

Since none of us are there with our meters, I can only respond by what information is posted. I fully stand by my statement(s) and the OP can do whatever he likes. It is his decision.

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.
