Voltage Regulator and PTO voltage
 

Hello everyone,

I’m working on a Cub Cadet 2135 riding lawn mower for a family
member. Model # 135-214 -100

It’s an older lawn mower from 1994-1995. I replaced the PTO recently and the battery for them. Not realizing the mower wasn’t charging the battery. My father managed to mow the lawn once before the bearing blew on the new clutch.

I’ve come to realize he wasn’t getting proper voltage at the PTO. It was only 12.3 volts from the battery. I replaced the voltage regulator but now I believe I’m getting too much voltage at the PTO plug. At full throttle my new cheap harbor freight multimeter is reading 15.2 volts at the PTO plug. That’s too much right? I don’t want to wreck another PTO. All the voltage regulators I’ve found online seem to be exactly the same. Does anyone know where I can find one that provides the proper voltage?

I appreciate any help and advice.
