I got this little Cub, and its a really nice tractor. It runs Really Excellent, and it appears that someone really took their time "re-doing " it a few years ago. I bought it from a guy that was deceased so I can't verify anything. It is all complete and original, and when I bought it, it was running good (minus a dirty carb that would only run at half choke, and a bad battery). After closer inspection, the steering box was rebuilt, the transmission possibly rebuilt because its super quiet, and the wiring wasn't original but was done nicely and all ends were heat shrinked at the time of re-do. Since it didn't have any leaks and had splotchy and faded paint; I decided to re-paint it. We also went ahead and bought a new battery, and put a freshly rebuilt carburetor on it. The other carb was a Carter with an oversized flange, and I put the original IH back on it).
I noticed after replacing the battery (6 volt system, but went with 8 volt since its all the store had), is that the generator is showing that its Discharging. All of the connections are good and tight, and I cleaned the ones on the regulator with battery cleaner and wire brushed them because they were corroded. I also changed one that was corroded at the wire. I troubleshooted the wires at the regulator to see if I had a "spark" when disconnecting.....I had one at the "GEN" terminal on regulator at first, but noticed that the right spring under the regulator cover had popped off. After putting spring back on and bending the top spring tab upward a little so it would stay on, it doesn't spark there anymore. I tried all the other connections on the regulator for that "spark", and didn't have one on any of the other terminals. I also went ahead and polarized the generator, still no change. All of the wiring at the generator and voltage regulator is coerrect, and everything works as it should (minus the gauge showing discharge), so I bet the wiring is correct behind the dash. The lights, kill switch, and fuse for lights is all hooked up correctly. Also checked the battery cables at battery, no spark and no movement of ammeter when I disconnect and reconnect cables.

Today's Featured Article - Sunday Drives - by Cowboy. Summer was finally upon us here in Northern Maine.
