You need to put an insulator on the stud that doesn't have one. You referred to it as terminal A. You can see one has one,it looks like a white washer, and the other doesn't. Can you take a better picture to show the brushes?

Here you go, as I said, the brushes are worn down.

using your pic these are the parts they are talking about. #1 is the insulator with out it the generator will short out. #2 is the brushes, from what I can tell by the pic it is in need of set.

Actually those brushes look pretty good, but if it were me I would put a new set in it. I think your main problem is the insulator. Just hope you didn't fry the coils.

You definitely need an insulator. The brushes in mine look like yours, and my 108 runs fine. Wouldn't hurt to replace those though. Were the brushes in the holders, or dangling free? When I bought my 108, the PO had been messing with the SG and one of the brushes was dangling free, so the tractor would not charge.
If that insulator bushing was missing, it either broke into pieces or the PO was messing with the generator.

Inexperience talking again, but a new set of what? Is should be able to take care of the insulator.

They were in place until I took the starter apart, I got the left one back but I'm not sure where the one on the right goes.

I'm referring to a set of brushes.

The brushes go in the same way on either side, so if you got the left one in you should be able to put the right one back in. Just make sure when you put it back together they're in correctly.

I'm considering buying a new starter altogether, what would be the best place to get one?

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.
