Question 1772 Being Fussy

I've mowed with the 1772 3 or 4 times since it's warmed up in New England. The last time I mowed I had to jump start it since it was turning over too slow to start and then the starter solenoid would just chatter. I figured the 5 or 6 year old battery was just worn out. So I went to tractor supply to get a new one, that I installed right away and got the lawn mowed. Fast forward to today, the same thing was happening with the new battery, slow cranking and solenoid chatter. So this time, I figured this must be a charging issue.
Since this was a new battery, I knew the battery connections were good as I just checked them. I went next to the voltage regulator and unplugged the connector to the wiring harness. FOUND THE PROBLEM! The spade terminal for the power feed from the regulator output was burned and the connector all melted on the wiring harness side. Anyone have part number or sources for the crimp terminals and connector housing where the regulator connects to the wiring harness? What is a good compound to on the connectors to keep a good connection and keep the corrosion at bay?

I don't know what terminal, or what type of harness connector it uses, but I use Dell City for most all my electrical supplies.

Use dielectric silicone (sometimes called dielectric grease) on the connector to keep corrosion down. You can get it at any part store, but honestly, that connector is under the hoods and side panels. It shouldn't be getting wet and corroding unless you wash the tractor a lot or it sits out.


I just now noticed your avatar pic is a GIF file.... IT MOVES! Cool!

Thanks Jonathan, looks like the terminals were covered with some type of grease in the past, possibly when built? It has degraded to that of a dark brown tar. While i was able to clean up the spade terminals the mating connectors on the wiring harness side are still full of the stuff, black and pretty much look like they need to be replaced. I'm just looking to find the best compound I can on the new connectors to keep them going. I thought of silicone grease as well, then thought about NOALOX that's used to prevent oxidation with aluminum house wiring.

Thanks on the avatar, took me a while to customize it and get it work work the way I wanted.

If your not going to be taking it apart a lot after you replace connectors. I like to use shrink tubing over connectors, plugs, etc. seals nice and water tight. Can get all sizes of shrink tubing at most hardware stores.

Thanks for the idea, I may try the shrink tubing as the only times I had this apart was when I got the 1772 and recently when I had this current charging problem.

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.
