Model 70 Starter Generator dying
Hey there,
My S/G has been having trouble starting my tractor for about a year now and now will not turn it over. The battery is good and there is plenty of power to the S/G. Is this a matter of brushes wearing out? The S/G has never been rebuilt since 1964. Thx,

I have worked on several S/G's (on my 100 and my 124) over the last two years. I would suggest either buy a brand new one off ebay, or take your existing S/G to a generator shop and have them repair it. There is just so much that can be wrong, such as brushes, bearings, armature, field coils, that it will save you time and money to have it replaced or repaired. Just my .02.

Brushes are a possibility of a s/g slowing down. Bearings could be another issue. There are not many parts inside and there are kits to fix them. The biggest problem is keeping the brushes back far enough to get it back together.

I heard that it's better to rebuild than to buy a new one as the new ones are not like the originals. Anyone know of a good shop in Indianapolis that can repair it?

Your situation sounds like (A) You have a lack of power going to the S/G through bad battery cables and/or connections, or (B) that there is an issue with the S/G itself.
Personally, I am an advocate of getting the original S/G rebuilt. I have read some, not so good stories, about these $100.00 cheapies from China.

I'd recommend finding someone near you with a good working used one to try to be sure it fixes your problem. Be careful when loosen/tightening the nuts on the cables, grind a wrench thin enough to fit under the cable on the bottom nut to make sure the post doesn't try to turn. If it turns it will usually crack the insulators on the studs.

I did some checking and when I press the starter button I only get about 8 volts to the s/g, but the battery reads 11.9 volts. Could something else be messed up?

Well, the s/g won't turn even being directly hooked up to a battery.
Looks like rebuild is in my future. Not too bad for never having been worked on in nearly 50 years. Found a place near downtown Indy that can do it.

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.
