I got it mostly back together. I'm having some starting issues. I did not run it much before I stripped it down, but I noticed the amp gauge would be way over on the + side, then the next minute on the - side.

Now when I turn the key on, the amp gauge does not move.

Once I start it, the amp gauge is showing -.

With a known good battery, it turns over very slow, once it hits the compression, it stops.

Even with a booster charge on a good battery, it struggles to turn over.

Once running, the engine sounds fantastic.

Any ideas what this could be? I believe all the wiring is correct. With everything painted seperately, could this be a bad ground situation? Or starter generator?

Sounds like your points are in need of adjustment. My 149 recently rebuilt 14 hp is in the same boat. I set the points per the service manual, mine starts okay and sounds good, but when you go from idle to wot, she hesitates and bogs down. I am going to reset mine using MattG's method, I would post a link for you, but I am not smart enough to figure out how to out smart my smart phone....lol, I just need to pick up one of those cheap meters mentioned in his how to, find any post made by him, there is a link in his signature that will send you to his personal site.

Good luck, plus, your tractor is coming out real nice and have been enjoying your thread!

I went through all the grounds, they checked out good.

I borrowed the starter/generator off my Dads 108. That fixed it!
I've never been inside one of these, anything I should know or look for? One of the posts seems loose.

I'll get some pics up this evening.

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.
