Thanks!
You are not reading low! It's AC man, while one of the terminals is in the positive cycle the other is in the negative cycle. Reading across both you are producing 38 VAC.

Most of us have 220 volts AC coming into our house from the electric company. If you look inside your fuse/breaker box you will see that the line coming in has a red, a black, and a white wire. The white is the neutral (no voltage) return for the AC. The read and the black provide 110 volts each when measured to the white, but 220 across black and red.

Your stator sounds ok to me.

Dude.... you are just not getting this test are you.
Put one lead from the meter on one of the stator wires, then put the other lead of the meter on the other stator wire. Stop putting one lead to ground!! That's not how you test AC voltage! One lead on each wire at the same time.

If you tested voltage at the center connector of the RR while it was unplugged, you'd better get battery voltage. That's where the wire runs to. You can't test RR output unless the harness is connected to it.

Thank you to all who provided useful information! After all of this, it was the lack of ground wire. As soon as I added the wire, the voltage went to a stable 14.22V at WOT so all seems to be good; that should have been the first thing I did so we could have avoided a 2 page thread, and any interaction with J-Mech. The old VR may not be bad after all, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt to have a new one. Your input was appreciated!

And Mr. J-Mech - Dude, you need to calm the down. My post count may indicate I'm a newbie compared to a "Grand Member", but I'm not new to the internet or forums. You charged into this thread in post #9 insulting and belittling cooperino's efforts for no good reason, then turned your attack on me in post #12. And any info you did offer (which wasn't much) wasn't the solution, so it doesn't seem that you know as much as you think you do (I have found that this tends to be the case for those who like to run their mouths). If the discussion here is so beneath your level of intellect, there are plenty of other threads that you may find more stimulating; this forum and internet at large is a big place! It's a shame since I looked up other posts of yours and it seems that you can be civil, and helpful; I don't know what your problem is here. If this is just a matter of having a bad day/week/month, you might want to take a break from the keyboard...you just present yourself as an ass and give a bad name to this forum. While you may see this as a newbie mouthing off to a longtime member, don't bother responding - I've removed my subscription from this thread, I don't receive email notifications for PMs, I'm sure my choice words for you will either get me reprimanded or banned, and the tractor will soon be sold....so I now have zero reason to be back after this post. There are other tractor sites to to be a member. Your effort will be in vain so spend your time drinking a beer and reflecting on how you treat and speak to people...good luck with that!

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.
