First adjust your PTO clevis so the PTO Rod isn't touching the PTO button when the PTO is engaged and the engine isn't running. With it running and the blades are still turn the PTO 3 screws aren't adjusted or the PTO needs rebuilt. It might be hard starting if your PTO isn't disengaging also. it i...

If you run your tractor at half starter and ground the field with a jumper the engine should bog down from that load on the generator. If it dose un-hook the + cable from the battery and it should keep running at half throttle. If it dies the Voltage Regulator is bad. The output of the VR is 13.5Vo...

could someone tell me what could be wrong with the pto on a 109 i got running. when mower deck is hooked up it spins the deck without being engaged and will not fall out. i cant find a breakdown anywhere on this forum and really have no idea what to look for as far as maintenance or repair.

Placed the mower belt on and when the tractor runs at idle the mower deck spins without the pto engaged. i will post some pictures to see if you guy can tell me how to fix that thanks.

okay i got the 109 running, put a different starter generator on it. now it runs , so i tested the output of the starter and it only shows 0.6 volts DC. Now of course the starter side works but the output seems to be bad. i went to my 147 cranked it up and it sayd 9 volts DC wide open. is that the m...

I have been on this forum for a while and I have not posted a lot. This one is easier to navigate than the other 2. I was raised on a cub cadet whenI was a child , well mostly mowing my grandparents property. So I naturally being almost 40 now have an interest in restoring and collecting. I own 147,...

Is there anyway to run a 147 without a starter generator?
Can you run the tractor without a battery?
When running without a battery would any of the components provide voltage to the coil?
i want to be able to start any of my 4 cubs with a rope and dont want to have to rely on a battery.
Thanks

I have a 109 that i got from a guy in Jacksonville. I got it running yesterday and low and behold the hydro lift for deck and sleeve hitch works fine. My question is the following. 1. do i need to remove the transaxle from the tractor to repair trunion? 2 is that what is making the tractor have erat...

weill my volt meter decided it wants to display 18.5 on a car battery sitting on a table so i couldnt use it. but i fugured out what was going on. i usually rub this thing at a very low idle putting around the cart and such. i touched the test light to the f terminal and didnt have anything and i cr...

okay that helps out alot. of the 3 terminals on the vr what do i need to look for on each. i tested 12v on one. luckily i have 4 starter generators.

so does the generator provide enough 12 volt output without the battery in the system. i know with most older car engines if you disconnect the cables from the battery and it goes dead then that means the alternator is dead, if it stays running its charging. just curious. thanks

I am very familiar with 12 volt systems, most in large car stereo systems but I am trying to learn how trouble shoot common electrical problems on the cubs as I now have 4 of them. ok my 147 runs when jumped off but when I remove the positive of the battery it goes dead. Does that mean the battery i...

That helps out alot. So the magneto just supplies the electrical for firing of the engine correct or does it output enough to charge as well. The odd thing is I have a 12 volt background and I have been in several magazines for products that I manufacture. But learning about these things is abit dif...

I AM NEW HERE BUT HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT IGNITION OF A K321. I HAVE 4 CUBS AND I WAS GIVEN A JD214 WITH TILLER AND ALL KIND OF STUFF WITH IT. I REMOVED THE K321 AND IT HAS A MAGNETO INGNITION SYSTEM. I MAY HAVE LOST SOME OF THE PARTS TO IT BUT I WANT TO KNOW IF I TAKE OFF THE MAGNETO WHEEL WHAT DO I ...
