Default 127 Amp Gauge

127 amp gauge constantly fluctuates in the positive range at anything above idle. I'm not accustomed to seeing this level of needle fluctuation since my O does't have one. Voltage reads 14.5 at the battery fast idle. Gauge? Regulator? Or normal?

I just got the charging system on my 107 running tonight and have had the exact same issue. It'll bounce all over the charge side for awhile until I slow down to idle. Then it goes all the way to discharge for about a second and then centers out to 0 until I speed it up again.

I think I've narrowed this down to regulator vibration. Don't know if I am missing some dampening rubber on the regulator mounting or not or if possibly the cubs require something unique about their regulators to tolerate the vibration. Any further insight appreciated.

I think you are on the right track. I had that on a 129 I bought which had totally dead battery. The owner started it, but only with a 100 amp charger and the V.R read zero so I was not confident about the charging/regulating. When I got home with a good battery the regulator was flying all over. I put a spare V.R. in and it read much steadier and positive. could be the adjustments letting the vibration open/close things when they should not be?

My 127 bounces all over the place from discharge to charge at high idle. I'm not sure if my charging system is working correctly or not. The s/g is fresh and the v/r is supposed to be good, but that is questionable to me.

I am with juicy and the dampening rubbers on the v/r. Is there supposed to be some there or not???

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.
