Cub cadet 107 Negative battery ground
 

I am re doing the wiring on my Cub Cadet 107. Where is the correct location for the negative battery ground? Is it on the generator bracket?

On my 122 it's attached to a bolt on the right-hand side of the steering tower, just a bit behind the S/G's location.

Same here on my 102. I was told the S/G bracket is a good location though.

The best thing you can do for your Cub is buy not redo your old wire harness. I spent $60 to $70 on a new wire harness for a 126. Best thing I did for that Cub. The tech section in this site has a diagram of a wire harness. It shows 2 places that has a wire going to the ground.

I think your right Merk, but I'm already head over heels in this Kinda too far in this but, I hope I wont be on here posting how I should have listen to you. Well wish me luck

I finished working on a Cub Cadet 126 for someone a few months ago. Someone before me tried to fix the wire harness. It was easier to replace then to patch. You will save yourself time, aggervation and money by replacing the harness rather than replacing a few wires. Having the wires colored the right color makes the job easy to do and in the furture easier to trouble shoot.

Well im not patching anything i am basicly making my own harness when its all said and finally running i think i will snap some pictures if it ends up working out. I work as a Tech for aamco so i know how to do a decent wiring job. i figured i could save my self some money but i will post pictures if i ever get the old girl running she hasent ran in years

I completely rewired my 149 using the tech sections diagrams in about 2 hours all wires labeled and by far superior to what was their and it was quite easy but I have an electronics/electricity back ground! Cost 2 bucks as I had all the stuff left over from another job I was doing!

That said Rock On Dude you can do it as long a schematics don't scare ya!!! Use a multimeter to get the right wires where their going!!

Cost only 2 bucks????
Even though you had some stuff left over from a different job it still cost more than $2 to rewire your 149.

You can label the wires.....What happens when the wires get dirty, oil covered or the label falls off? That is why I like to use the correct colored wire.

Short term using the same colored wire is a cheap fix....long term it will be a pain work on when the labels fall off or get too dirty to read.

The best place for the heavy ground cable is right up there at the starter gen bracket. It's only one cable, not part of a "harness". I ran all my heavy cables in one bundle to/from the S/G and it looks pretty decent.

When you're rewiring, make sure the voltage regulator is grounded. It's on rubber mounts and sometimes there is a ground wire, and sometimes there isn't, across the rubber section.

Proper colored wires is a benefit, but there are only a few wires. I've used labels that are pretty much forever. Brady.

My 126 was wired positive ground when I took it apart. It all worked quite well, somehow. I still haven't figured out why.
