I used the links in this thread to help me adjust my voltage regulator, specifically post 17 and 34.

I had a no charge issue. I cleaned the internal contacts, grounding surface and wire terminals. I was then getting 16+ volts at the battery. I verified my wiring was correct and not the issue. I then followed the adjustment directions in the above links to get 13.8-14 at wot. Been keeping my battery charged ever since.
Good luck

Bill

Although I do keep a cheapy new one on the shelf just in case, I gotta agree with the other guys.

Since I sometimes have a hard time "getting it" out of a book and most of the written material regarding voltage regulators is crap, it took a really long time for me to have a decent understanding of how these things actually work and what to do to make them work right. I still don't profess to know everything about them though, especially since there are several different styles.

Read the material the guys posted and you should be able to figger out what you need to do to make them work again. Although sometimes they do shoot craps and you just can't make them work.

Try the "extension cord" idea, it does make life easier.

The OP wants to know where to buy a good VR. The place I suggested and use has been in business for 30 years. If you buy from Ebay, you don't know what you will get. Use a legitimate business. They have Delco/Massey....if that's your pleasure.

Gentlemen,Thank you very much for the very good advice.And thanks for the link to the adjustment procedure.
I got the VR896 from NAPA today,hooked it up and...SUCCESS! It gives me a charge of 14 volts at operating speed. And I was pleasantly surprised,it is made in USA !!!!!!!!
Lesson learned,no more cheap junk for me. I will try the adjustments on some old Delco's sometime when I have time.
Thanks again,Gentlemen.

Woody I searched their site and found the V/R for $26.00 with free shipping and it says aftermarket which yes the napa one is too but price is quite different and made in USA Tim says. Not knocking it but curious and wondering where it's made? Tim is the napa one an Echlin brand?

Alvy, The VR896 I got is branded NAPA/Echlin. It says MADE IN USA on the box and on the VR itself. I don't now the actual retail price as I got a discount. I believe they sell for neighborhood of $63-$68.

They don't actually build the parts, just sell them. So, no 30 years don't mean jack. NAPA has been around way longer.

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.
