Default Voltage regulator

Hello gentlemen,
I wanted to know what type of voltage regulator I would need for my Quietline 1000 with an original 10hp Kohler engine? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Chris

There is no V/R on a QL.
There is a rectifier on the engine blower housing tin, right behind the coil that takes the place of the V/R on the earlier models which used a stater/generator.

Thank you so much for the help. I was also looking for the points. I was told by my friend that I'd have to pull the engine to get to the points. That cannot be right. Any help on where the points are located. Thank you in advance.

No you do not need to pull the engine. They are under the rectangular cover on the left side of the engine towards the front. Some engines have them under the flywheel, thus you would need to pull the engine, but not the K series Kohlers.

Regulator and points cover.
Just follow the black wire from the (-) coil post to the points.
The lower screw holding the points cover to the block can be tricky to
remove and insert. You may want to drill a hole in the frame for
screwdriver access if there's not already one there.

This is a huge help. Thank you for the pictures. A few years back I filed the points and I knew we didn't pull the engine. This makes my weekend project a lot easier. Much appreciated.

May I suggest that what ain't broke, don't fix it.
Back when I was young in the 1950's, we "tuned up" things.
Not so much today, a set of points lasts pretty much the life of the engine,
as does the voltage rectifier/regulator.

Now if you have a problem with something malfunctioning, then one needs to DIGANOISE the problem and replace that part, instead of firing the parts cannon and hoping what ever it hits was the problem as that usually not only gets expensive but adds new problems to the equation, as most "NEW" parts
today are 50% bad built by the lowest bidder supplier!

Great advice George. I haven't messed with it yet but the issue I'm having is that I'm not getting spark. I thought maybe it was an issue with the points. I'm kind of at a loss because I was using this tractor to mow and it worked fine and I put it in the shed and now nothing. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you, Chris

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.
