Amp meter inaccuracte on 1250
Hello,
The amp meter on my 1250 is now reading higher than it should be. With everything off, it is showing that it is charging, about the amount that it would be right after starting the tractor. When it is running, the needle is pretty much pegged to the right. Turning the lights on and the PTO does drop the needle a little. So it is working properly, but it looks like it thinks the neutral position is more to the right than it really is. This started after I added some lights tonight. I installed the lights fairly close to how they would have came from the dealership. It will eventually get a full led upgrade, while keeping the stock look, but that will happen as bulbs burn out. I was adjusting the wires as a final fitment and accidentally shorted it out against the engine (I thought the off position of the light switch was to the left and the on position was to the right, but I was wrong). This blew the 15 amp fuse I had installed (I didn't have any spare 10 amp fuses to use, but I used 10 gauge wire for everything I added, so I wasn't worried about having any wires over heat if they were run at a higher demand). I don't know if this event caused the amp meter to become uncalibrated, or if maybe I did something when I was struggling to remove the tiny bolt on the back of the meter. I just know that when I started my project, it was reading normal, and that when I finished, it is always reading high. Is there any sort of adjustments for this amp meter? Or maybe cause a similar short with the amp meter hooked up backwards. (joking about that, but actually wondering if it would work). Everything else has been great besides the amp meter. Limited test of the lights because the muffler is broken, so I am going to fix that before using the 1250 too much.

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.
