What 'newer style voltage regulator' on what model Cub Cadet?

 

[Joe Williams]

I have a 127 cub. Was wondering if the newer cubs voltage regulator would work.

Yes they will work depending where you buy it.

I think Joe's probably referring to the rectifier module on quiet lines, 82 series, etc.

I'm not much of a mind reader, ya know!

 

[Joe Williams]

well does it work or not? The guy next door gave me two of these and he said they would work.

Have no clue. Never in all my years heard of anyone even trying. Not much point in trying to fix something that ain't broke.

Amazon has them listed and called them a voltage regulator for a 8 -20 horse for the kohler engines. just trying to save a few bucks and times are hard.

Yeah, it'll work, if you install an alternator in place of the S/G
Good luck cranking the engine though!!

A rectifier is an electronic device that converts an alternating current into a direct current by using one or more P-N junction diodes. A diode behaves as a one-way valve that allows current to flow in a single direction. This process is known as rectification.

thanks everybody I'll have to get one like digger said.

Joe, OEM or knock-off; the regulator has to match the system. One has to be for D.C. generators (starter/generator) or one has to be for the alternators used on later models. (Oops we wrote at the same time)
