You will need to explain your situation better...there are two parts to the starter generator. It "starts" and it "generates"...

If your tractor will not turn over, take off your starter generator, lay it on a board, place your negative clamp of your battery charger on the casing of the generator for ground, and place your positive clamp on the "A" terminal of your starter generator. DO NOT clamp this on the terminal, just lightly touch it, you don't want to be fusing the two parts together...

If it turns over but will not generate any power (will not charge battery), simply find your voltage tester and hold it on your battery while running 1/2 throttle or more. Make sure the tester reads DC volts. If it's working properly, it should be running right around 14 volts.

If its not doing either one, either the armature is grounding out or it's time to overhaul it.

Check out video 1 of my 147 restoration series. I cover several tests for your S/G. You do not have to remove it from the tractor, in fact it's easier to leave it on.

Since he says its "fried", I don't understand the benefits of leaving it on the tractor. In fact, what should happen is it should come off and be cleaned up, armature turned and tested, bearings replaced and new brushes installed. just my .02

He's not sure what's going on with it, and that's what my advice was based on. The tractor makes a handy bracket/bench test bed. Fully agree that once the initial tests are done, it is a perfect time to perform all the chores you describe.

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.
