Two things to consider...
What is the condition of the battery. It can read good voltage at rest but may have a low charge or internal problem that causes mis-readings. (is that a word?). Could you try a different battery or start the tractor, disconnect the battery and see what voltage you read at the bat + cable.

The other thing is you say "the meter is only showing slightly to the + side". Voltage doesn't fry the battery, too much current does. If something is bad I'm wondering why you are not seeing high current through the ammeter.

Is it possible that the S/G has an internal problem that is causing a constant full charge situation?

Possible yes. Disconnecting the "A" wire at the S/G and running it is the test. With the wire dis-connected it should not charge.



Get another DVOM and check the static charge on the batter. I find it odd that you get a 13.2 reading on it, unless you just pulled it off of a charger. Even a fully charged battery should not read 13v. (Unless it just came off the charger, then it will. But not after sitting for a while.) I'm wondering if you meter is wrong.

Its in this narrow frame manual, starts page 1-31. Does sound like it's full fielded somehow.

The wire to the f terminal may have a cut in it where it connects to the regulator from rubbing on the frame/fender pan.

Here's the reply I got from Patton Acres in regards to my VR.

voltage regulators are adjustable. they dont come out of the box ready to go .last summer I had the generator rebuilt on my farmall C. At the same time I installed a new wire harness and voltage reg. fired it up and it pegged the meter. I called the shop that rebuilt it and he walked me through adjusting it over the phone. He told me I should have brought it and he could have set it up on the bench with the gen.
Yes there is no warranty on electrical same as if you bought it from your local dealer. I worked in a chev/toyota dealer for 25 years and it was same policy unless we installed it. Thanks for the info ,Rich

Well I wouldn't say they all need to be adjusted. I'm on my fourth tractor, replacing the VR on each and I have yet to have one not work. Maybe I'm just lucky.

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.
