Default Generator/Starter Regulator Problems

The regulator on my 123 went out. Tractor died because it was just running off the battery. I bought a new regulator and the terminals are marked B, F, and L. There is no ground terminal on it. When hook up the postive terminal on the battery and just touch the ground the starter/generator starts to spin.
I would appreciate some words of wisdom.

Thanks,
Ted

(A) Is this V/R a Cub Cadet part or aftermarket...?? If aftermarket, what is the make and part number?

(B) The grounding is normally through the Mounting Feet.

There is prolly another terminal under the reg marked gen.
l is for load and it is not used with the wiring on a 123.

It is a 1414 regulator. I am going to do some more work on it today. I already found some wiring problems. I am retire so time isn't a factor.

Thanks,
Ted

Still need some help, in the harness there is a red wire that comes out of the harness near the voltage regulator, I trace it back to a bolt that is screwed in to the block on the left side of the block. This wire is not shown on any of the drawings. ???

Thanks,
Ted

Looks like some "modifications" have been made.

I would suggest that you go through your harness and make sure that it matches the diagram.

The red wire I am talking about is in the wiring loom, and that portion has not been modified. The end toward the switch has been but I do not believe that is where the problem is.

You say you have a 123. The only red wire is the Red Battery Cable, which is a large diameter cable.

Perhaps, the wire you are talking about is the "orange" wire which is NOT bolt to the block.

The 123 wiring diagram is quite simple as compared to subsequent models. Click here and look at the Fourth Wiring Diagram down..... 123 Wiring Diagram

There is a red wire in the harness. It is a ground for the regulator. It connects to the dash tower bolt on the right side, the other connects to the mounting tab on the vr.time to fix that wiring diagram.

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.
