Each terminal will have a letter stamped into it, you might need to clean up the terminals with some sandpaper to see them.

This might help. Hard to read; page 1-29 of the service manual, available in the tech section.

That's assuming he has a factory regulator.

Yep, you guys were right. It was stamped in it, but it was just really crusty and I had to clean it up good before I could see it.
So, I got it hooked back up correctly and now it goes full charge all the time. I'm getting 17+ volts at the battery. What should I check? Would a bad ground from the regulator base to the frame cause this?

The Voltage Regulator HAS TO be grounded. With a meter (DVM or VOM) measure the connection between the V/R mounting feet and the Battery Negative terminal. It should be zero ohms resistance.

You can adjust it as others have said. If adjusting makes no difference the s/g may be full fielded due to a shorted wire from F terminal to frame or shorted F terminal on s/g internally or shorted field winding. Grounding the F terminal makes this happen. Disconnect your F terminal on the s/g or v/r and see if your charge voltage decreases to 12 volts.

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.
