Default Question about generator
I'm familiar with the NF Cubs having a starter/generator that was run by a belt off the front of the engine, and I'm also aware that with the introduction of the quietline series a direct starter was introduced (on the flywheel) however, I do not know what replaced the generator (from the NFrames.) I've done some research and nothing seems to be coming up. What produces the current on the quietline series?

Thanks!

Also known as a "stator". It is behind the flywheel. A pain to replace.

Yeah wierd to go from something as reliable as a S/G to a little stator that puts out around 28 volts AC and has to be rectified back to 12-14V. Oh well, they rarely go bad IME and the regulator/rectifier is easy to replace when it goes up...

Progress marches on. Sometimes backwards, I agree!

Actually,
Stator/rect system charges@ lower rpms, is less costly to produce, is lighter weight and no moving parts to wear out.
what's not to like about that?

How is that backwards? The stator/alternator is higher output, and in my experience has been far more reliable than starter/generators. You're forgetting the mechanical voltage regulator for the S/G system, which needs periodic adjustment.

I have spent more time troubleshooting ONE S/G charging system problem than I have spent troubleshooting the more modern alternator/rectifier systems on tractors I have owned that were equipped with them...

I'll agree to that. That is one nice thing I like about my 12, 14, and 1650. Never had to work on the charging system. S/G's are nice too, but you do spend quite a bit more time looking for solutions.

Thanks everyone for the replies; I know more than I ever did about them, and I'm not complaining.

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.
