Default Battery not charging

My Cub cadet 1250 hydro is not charging the battery ,or it is, but something else is going on. I asked this same question on another forum and someone suggested it could have something to do with the electric PTO clutch.

I had tested the electrical system and it seemd to be doing what it supposed to. I have not tested the PTO clutch which works just fine.

Heres a typical way the problem shows itself. A brand new battery with a full charge , start up and cut grass fo a hour , turn off and minutes later attempt to restart but battery is dead. I have replaced the battery every year for the last five years.

I'd suspect the switch...get it started and "wiggle" the key as you watch the amp meter. I had that problem once.

Just checking to see, you did check the stator output with a multimeter?

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.
