Wire wound resistors can be had with tolerances of 1%, 2%, and 5%. Wattage starts at 1W and can go to 500W. Wire is usually made of a high-resistivity alloy, such as nickel-chrome.

That resistor probably sets the voltage at which it quits charging, or limits the current.
I sure hope an exploded battery isn't your first hint that you should have bought a new regulator...
You might be able to take the reg to a generator shop. If they say it can't be done, I'd believe them. Then again, they might be able to fix it right.

I picked up a new one today at CarQuest. Chalk it up to a $61 mistake. Thanks Roland for all the technical info, interesting stuff.

All resistors are color coded. With the age of older resistors, I doubt any resemblance of a color would be left, so you're best off taking a good working VR, and taking some readings....but you'll probably have to seperate it at one end to get a true reading.

All carbon core resistors are color coded. I have seen many wire wound resistor with no color codes but with the actual rating stenciled on them. I would venture an educated guess, that Delco did NOT mark those resistors so they could end up selling you a new V/R when the resistor broke. Trade secret ya know....:biggrin2.gif:

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.
