105 V/R battery terminal wire melting

[Pudgy]

I'm a newbie to Cub but a veteran at restoring everything from metal lathes to Radios, Edison Cylinder players, Bobcats ect..... Now a Cub 105 with a wiring problem where the engine will not shut off with the key, it sounds like it's dieseling and the "Bat" terminal wire on the V/R get so hot it melts only after the key is turned off while trying to kill the tractor. Any ideas??? New starter generator, new V/R, new ignition switch all installed.

I bought a 122 a few years ago and the batt wire on the V/R was disconnected, when I went to put it on, the S/G began to turn the engine over. I didn't go ahead and hook it up, I believe the problem was that it was the wrong V/R.

I would check the wiring carefully, make sure everything is in the right place and then open the V/R to make sure it isn't stuck or burnt. My best guess would be it's the wrong V/R.

First, welcome to our Forum............

(A) Is the tractor wired that same as the Wiring Diagram....... Wiring Diagram...??

(B) Are all the Electrical Parts factory original or factory replacements....no aftermarket parts..??

Wiring is to spec and it matches wiring schematic. If the V/R has the same terminals as the old one, could it still be the "Wrong one" ? How can you tell which is the right one?
