Help Support IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum:
The pipe i made was a bed rail proto type that did not make the grade .Its stainless steel pipe hope it wont blue,guess we will find out if it snows . Thats what i wanted to look at the regator thanks for the help.
Jim: Yes, you can adjust the voltage, either by turning a screw, or bending a tab...
First I would unhook the battery, and remove the regulator from the tractor. Use the manual and clean the contact points, and reset the gaps per spec. with feeler guages. Also, clean all the terminals. Then spray it down good with contact cleaner. Leave the cover off of the VR and determine how you need to adjust the voltage on your regulator (screw or tab)Reinstall the VR on the tractor and make sure the mounting brackets have a good ground (clean/not rusty mounting location), and the battery cables. Get a volt meter capable of measuring DC voltage. Start the tractor, and read the voltage across the + and - terminals of the battery. I adjust the VR as needed to get anywhere from 13.6 to 14.2 volts DC.
I have done this with 5 different VRs, and have only had 1 that still didn't charge properly.

Jim, I had that same thing happen to me, meter pegged at full charge. What I found out was the small ground wire on the regulator had a bad connction. It is a braided wire, and if I remember correctlly it was at a crimped joint.

I can tellya right now that Kraig is going to want more pics and details, so you better get that camera working overtime.

David Clinansmith – Jan 04, 7.02pm (Rusty, torched 127) You guys over there are SOOO spoiled. That is recoverable. I just wish I could land even that in my backyard. I have only ever set eyes on 1 CC in the flesh, my 102. I guess we here in Oz, being a bit removed (& upside down) have developed a bit of ‘get it done somehow’. & Ted ILL 8.36pm, sure it looks like the Gen is running backwards. But it is the CC that runs the motor backwards. Other auto stuff runs motors clockwise, so that guy has evidently done a think job of using a conventional auto generator, & separate starter, just he has executed (wrong word !!) real rough.
Michael Miller Jan 06, 3.45 You trying to make me very envious of such a pick up? That’s easy.
Digger, slightly off topic, I don’t have any IH clocks (yet), but I do have an English ‘Smiths’ out of a 1928 Armstrong Siddeley, & I have the ‘Sphinx’ radiator mascot. The clock still works (you might try to hear it ticking), & so too might the car soon (I gave it to a fellow about 20Km away a couple of years ago, to complete the restoration I had started. I got it from my cousin, who got it from his Aunt, who got it in 1929 from the Mayor of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia)

Hank, thanks, the March 2006 snow removal pictures are on the way!
Eddie B., thanks for the kind words, I'm honored to have one of my photos as your PC background.
(Just curious, which one did you use.)
Charlie, looks like you got about the same amount of snow as I did!
Vern, nice job so far, and Charlie's right, I'm going to <strike>want</strike> need more photos!
Anthony, nice progress!

Anthony, just curious, is that paint on your jeans from sanding/grinding that paint old off? Did you wear a dust mask or better yet a half face respirator? If not you should have. Do yourself favor and invest in a good half face respirator to wear when you sand/grind and paint. Or at least wear a dust mask.

OK Guys, here's the first pics of my Saturday find. These were shot at the POs place....I'll get some better shots when it stops raining.
That CCO in the front not only has fenders and wheel weights, but also sports duel rear brakes and a parking brake lever!

Eddie, ah! Those are from 2001, at the risk of sounding full of myself I must agree that they are great photos, my wife did a good job.
Here's a higher resolution version for you.
Michael, nice! Headlights are still in the 147 (they were standard equipment on the 147), and WOW fenders and <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> wheel weights on one of the Originals! Very, very nice find! Hmmm, where's the lift handle on the "white" Original??????

Kraig,
Thanks! Sometimes we get lucky! The lift handle was removed...I guess it got in the way of the parking brake ass'y! I haven't had a chance to look under that tractor yet but some PO did some work to get the duel brake setup installed. It's got left hand axle housings on both sides, each with the brake ass'y intact, and a brake pedal on each side that acts independently from the other. I think the parking brake lever works on the left brake only. Interesting modification....I'm thinking this tractor was set up just for towing stuff.
