I had to replace the rear main engine seal in my cub I plow, mow, and til with, but when I got it done and all back together it was not charging. Used it that way for a couple days and then pumped gasoline out of tank and removed the tank so I could trouble shoot the problem. I had noticed the F stud of the generator turned a little when I removed the wire, so was expecting that to be the problem. As soon as the hood was clear I realized the wiring on the cutout did not look right. A cutout has 3 terminals, but in normal circumstances, only 2 of them are used, the BAT and the Gen terminals. The F terminal is only used if you have an engine that has a charging system but no lights, such as a cub that was ordered with starter only, or a power unit such as used on a combine or baler. If it is a regulator the F terminal wires to the F of the generator, but on a cutout the F terminal is not used. I had installed the BAT lead on the F terminal of the cutout rather than on the Bat terminal. Luckily no harm was done and all I had to do was move the lead. I did polarize the generator just to be on the safe side.This site uses cookies to maintain login information on FarmallCub.Com. Click the X in the banner upper right corner to close this notice.

Re: I can't believe I did that, but
I thought that I was the only one who did stuff like this! Only problem is, when I do a dumb thing, I panic trying to figure out what I did and fix two or three things that didn't need fixing before I find out what was really wrong!
