1974 Cub cadet 1250 partial restoration
Here's my 1974 Cub 1250, got her for 200$ at an estate auction, along with a deck, and snow blade. She has ag tires and wheel weights, had tire chains and goofy headlights. She's a little anemic, but it's okay. We removed the one tire and swapped it, turns out my spindles are dead from the bearings seizing and
scoring the hell outta them, so she's gonna need new spindles. She has a weird pepper can exhaust, which sticks out like a sore thumb and is a burn hazard. She is, of course, missing the expensive parts, and she has no headlights, but it's fine. http://preview.ibb.co/dnvWyy/20180509_172030.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/i2Wh5d/20180509_172051.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/d6DvQd/20180509_171003.jpg https://preview.ibb.co/hFfLrJ/20180509_165826.jpg |
I see potential!

I might put a hydraulic lift in it once everything's done like my brother did. |

So far I've had multiple issues with the Powr kraft and one issue with my 1250: The hydro is severely anemic. |

I've figured out some issues with my tractor.
1. The thing misfires like mad. It misfires when on rough terrain and when throttled up. It is running lean? Or is it some other issue? 2. The hydro is weak. The tractor can barely make it up hills, and the pump gets hot. I think it is low on fluid. 3. Amp meter barely works. It goes up upon startup, but then slowly drifts back to 0 when running. Wiring issue or is it broke? Thanks in advance, I'll post more later. Here are some pics: |
And, your headlights are crooked.:biggrin2:
As for the weak hydro. Have you replaced fluid and filter? MAY BE a good place to start...:bigthink: |

It is operating properly. The ammeter measures current flowing in both polarities, so what you're seeing is that after you've cranked the engine and the charging circuit is active, your battery is receiving current. The battery, if in good shape, stabilizes soon after and the current drops back towards the center of the scale, close to "0". What you will see is that increasing the loads on the charging system while running will result in a change in the amperage output as seen on the meter. The engine running by itself doesn't require much amperage so that is why it rests close to the "0" on the scale. If the current is flowing in the opposite direction the meter will read towards the "D" side of the scale. This means your battery is discharging. |
