Understood. I was offering an explanation for his curiosity about "another tractor" he had at one time - which most likely did have a dual output stator.

thanks for the responses.

the #2 question i had was from the WF wiring diagram. the wire is purple then goes to yellow. what is the cylinder thing inbetween the purple and yellow wire. i will use 14g wire


can i use 5x7 car lights? i have seen it done on here before, and they will give off way more light. will the S/G still charge the battery
thanks

The maximum output of the S/G is 12V @ 15Amps. As long as the total light load is less than 10A, you should be good to go.

I think 5 x 7 car lights will draw too much current and eventually deplete the battery if they exceed the max S/G charging capacity. Plus, you'll need heavier wiring and a larger fuse. If you want more light, you might try a pair of marine halogen spreader lights (http://www.iboats.com/Marine-Deck-Fl...view_id.236397). Unless you go with some of the new LED versions. The 50 watt halogens will draw about 1 amp more current than the 35 watt round lamps that are normally used.

You have to have some reserve for the Ignition Coil. If you ran the lighting total to 15A, once you turned the lights on, you would kill the engine.

I don't have the wiring diagram in front of me, but it's likely the fuse that's been discussed at length recently in this thread.

Push the cylinder together (end to end) and twist. It should come apart, a fuse is inside.

Cub108, the cylinder thing between the purple and yellow wire is a symbol for the connection between the 2 wires. It's not a symbol for a fuse, if that's what you're wondering. There is one fuse, in the yellow wire running from the light switch to the charge indicator. I can take pics if you need them.

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.
