Default Cub 106 wont hold a charge!
Hello!
My name is Christian. I am new to joinning the site although I have looked through a lot of threads on here before to help me. Okay lets get down to business,
I restored my cub 106 this past summer, came out great! It ran just fine all fall and now I went out to start it and the battery was dead. Put a charger on it to jump it, got her started, plowed for 15 mins, shuts off, no battery charge, jump it again it starts right up then plow for 15 mins, shuts off again.what could be doing this?!
P.S.
I did have to rewire the ignition because i broke a wire, i changed the plug and the points look fine.
Any help would be great! Thank you! happy new years!

If you repainted it without taking care to make sure all the electrical components were grounded properly, that could be the problem. It sounds like the voltage regulator might not be properly grounded. I'd check that out before getting too wild looking for other stuff.

That's exactly why it would be a problem. There has to be bare metal contact between all of the chassis parts so that they will be connected electrically to each other.

Just curious,do you have a new battery on it or is it an old one ? It does sound more like a voltage regulator issue. You can take the starter/generator off an go to most auto parts stores an they can test to see if its ok....

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.
