Default Battery?
Ok question - My cub 126 runs pretty good for about 20 min or so then dies. I have to jump it every time you wanna start it. I am pretty sure its not a fuel problem, I cleaned the tank very well. I have new points, set at twenty, new condenser, new coil (all Kohler brand) and correct for my twelve horse engine. So if the battery only holds a charge for a little bit, would that cause it to stop running? With cars I know, they will run off the alternater but will these run off the generator?

Take the battery to a reputable place and have it "load tested", and then we can go from there.

You should be able to run the tractor with the battery unhooked provided the charging system is working. Try jumping it and unhooking the positive terminal and see if it dies.

Either the generator isn't charging, or the voltage regulator is bad. My 100 stopped charging and it ended up being the field wire was broke loose from the post inside the generator.

Possum

You may want to download and read the service manual for the 126, here is the link but I know you are not fond of reading manuals from the last deal we went through.

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.
