Default Cub cadet 149 Voltage regualtor

I have a cub cadet 149 Mechanical voltage regulator. This technology was way before my time, maybe and old timer can help. The old one will not charge better volts not running 12.66 running 12.88 at full throttle put lights on I can watch the ammeter discharge, and voltage goes to 11.80. I bought a universal voltage regulator off eBay. It says will fit my model. When I installed that, the battery terminals arced a little bit and soon as I gave it throttle - discharge. My wiring is right I traced that good ground. Did I do something wrong? Should I use Cub cadet regulator? Any help I would appreciate.

Post a pic of your regulator. Most all the replacements the terminals do not match. I'm almost certain that you wired it in wrong. It is possible that it may be ruined already. I've seen this about 4 times this year alone.

Second J.

Wiring assumptions have blown dozens of these universal jobbies.

Look on the bottom and see if there's a terminal you didn't notice before.

Close-up pics so we can see the letters on the terminals.

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.
