Default 149 starts cranking starter as soon as batt is hooked up
OK here it is. I noticed that the blue wire was unhooked from my VR, So I put a terminal on it and hooked it up to the VR to the terminal marked L. I noticed in the diagrams that the terminals should be marked B,G,and F. I don't know if that matters? Anyhow .. now as soon as I hook up the battery the starter starts cranking the neutral and pto safety switches are open. But if I disconnect the blue wire everything seems normal it starts and fires fine but I am not sure if the battery is charging.I have checked,double checked, and triple checked that all the right wires were connected to all the right places. any ideas guys?

Post a pic of your regulator. Yes, it matters how it is hooked up.

I just went down this road 2 days ago. Like J says, post up a pic of your V/R. If you've bought one of the ebay offerings, chances are you have the 4-post variety with 3 on the side and one on the bottom.

The bottom one might not be marked, but should be the "G" terminal. The 3 sides should be marked "BATT" battery, "F" field and "L" load. If this fits your V/R, and your color-coded wiring harness is still intact, you probably have the blue wire hooked up to the side "L" terminal.

The blue wire should go to the bottom side terminal. The "L" terminal is there to power headlights, etc.

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.
