Default Voltage Regulator problem?
Is this going to be a problem on my voltage regulator? Both wires were lying next to each other. I pulled them up so I could get a pic of them. Thanks for the help!

Clean them up & solder them together.....or....install a new wire from connection point A to B

That is a Ground Wire and needs to be in place to function correctly.

I did a search, and this is about as close as to what I just found on my 122/126 kluged up Cub, so I won't start a new thread.

Problem: Over charging the battery.

Symptom: Charged great, but battery eventually failed from over charge.

Diagnosis: Measured the DC Voltage between the regulator frame and chassis of the tractor where the reg mounts. Saw 0.25 VDC, sometimes more. This seemed wrong. Eventually found this voltage drop across a rivet I thought.

Repair: Solder joints had failed where the tab was soldered to the plated steel, as you can somewhat see in the OP's picture. My wire was intact, but one of the solder joints was no longer in good contact. I was able to pry up the solder and break it off! I scraped the base metal and soldered it using acid core solder and cleaned it real well with isopropyl.

Verdict: Seems to have worked quite well! Before was seeing 15 to 16 VDC across battery at mid-throttle. Now seeing 14.5 VDC at the most. And, much steadier voltage.

Hope this helps someone else out there. If you can solder, or can find someone who can, this could save you the price of a regulator! It worked for me, and my spare regulator looks like it could use some solder touch up as well.

Rhoderman:

Awesome post. Very articulate! Did you by chance ever work at a dealership? I learned how to write up and describe customer's concerns with their vehicles in that same manner while working for Hyundai.

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.
