Default Is there a GOOD voltage regulator available?

Does anyone know of a GOOD voltage regulator for our tractors with the starter/generator ? I have bought two of the cheap ones on ebay recently and one charges too little and the other charges too much (on the same tractor).These cheap aftermarket,made in India regulators seem to be inferior.

It would be been cheaper for you had you just bought the CC V/R in this first place. Now you have two POS to throw away and still have to buy something.

IMHO, the NAPA VR896 is a decent replacement.

I guess I'm weird because I buy 40 plus year old Delco VRs. I have seen the insides of the chinesium and mexinesium ones and I'm not a fan. They don't compare, not even close.

So,Alvy,,,Do you have a way to refurbish/refresh/rebuild/adjust/tweak/massage/coax/revive or otherwise renew the 40-50 year old Delco regulators,or do you just get lucky and find ones that work well?
I have a few old ones around,can they be revived?

Well,that would explain why the old ones sell for as much or more than the cheap new ones.

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.
