Original regulator sticking?
 

Hello, our Original is having a charging problem. The regulator will not start charging most of the time. If I tap on the side of the regulator it will start charging and stay charging. I have pulled the cover off and it looks like new inside. I looked at the contacts and they look like they are in good condition. My starter generator was recently rebuilt by a local guy. All my wireing is in good condition. Regulator is well grounded. What could be causing the regulator to not start charging until I tap on it lightly???? Thank you.

Do you have the correct CC V/R...???

I don't really know, it does say Delco Remy on it. The outside of the regulator on it looks like it is the original one from 1962. Is there something special about the Cub Cadet regulator other than its a 4 wire 12v regulator? I have a new regulator I just picked up from Rural King and it's a 4 wire. I haven't tried the new regulator yet.

What does that mean...?? :Huh:

Regulator looks like its 52 years old, rusty, faded, remnants of yellow paint. Inside it looks like new.

Well, it sounds like the V/R IS the issue. Being that it is 52 yrs old, you might considered replacing it.

See link.... CC Voltage Regulators

Didn't know Cubs were built in 52...............:bigthink:

You might try taking the tractor to the guy that rebuilt the S/G and see what he says about it, it may only need a simple adjustment.

Keep in mind, that just because the regulators look similar on the outside doesn't mean that they are the same on the inside.

Good Luck.
