Default 109 sluggish after 1 hour, vr overcharging coincidentally
So exactly at the same place in my yard the tractor runs sluggish on an incline that makes me work the hydro lever to tweak and keep from stopping. On the flats it's fine but noticeably rough. Also it appears the needle on the ammeter pegs out to the right.
Is it related and just a symptom of a worn out vr? It's the original and battery is new and starts like a champ.
Not sure if napa has the right vr with all that I've read about this topic and I loathe electrical issues.

Sounds like a fuel problem. It maybe time to pull the Carb and do a cleaning, rebuild and adjustments.

NO....two seperate issues. Before you jump into replacing the V/R, check to make sure that the connections are correct as compared to the Wiring Diagram, clean and tight. In addition, make sure the V/R is properly grounded.

Could the over charge cause problems with coil or condenser over heating

Other steeper inclines are fine in the first hour. The only other thing that hpens is that meter pegs out but is just right of center in the first hour

Wondering if as previously posted, the coil is getting hot, shorting out and drawing more current, thus the additional amp charge on the amp meter.
Just a guess here.

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.
