The Cub Cadet Man has been collecting Cub Cadets for many years. What started as finding the best, most reliable riding mower to mow several acres of land has now become a considerable hobby. The collection of Cub Cadets has grown over the years to include many of the early models including the 70, 71, 72, 73, and early 100 series. The "Cub Cadet Museum" (as friends and relatives like to call it) contains numerous Cub Cadets in various states of repair and restoration.
Besides collecting and restoring, the Cub Cadet Man also enjoys modifications and accessories. Among the modifictions are the two "Farmall" tractors shown at left. Accessories range from homemade, scaled-down rakes to vacuums to trailers and lifts.
With this site, the Cub Cadet Man hopes to bring a little of the knowledge and experience (that has been shared with him by the Cub Cadet community and earned through hard work) with others that share his interest. Questions that he commonly sees asked in forums and at events may well be answered in the How-To section. Photos of his modifications and collections can be found in the photos section. The Cub Cadet Man likes travelling around the Midwest visiting tractor shows. You may even see him at Plow Day or at Thresherman Park in Boonville, IN.
As always, if you have any questions, just click on "Contact Us" and ask away! And enjoy the site! |

I’ve owned Cub Cadets since 1978. We first purchased a 122 and a short time later purchased a 102 to mow our lawn. (It’s a large lawn.) My wife wanted to use one of the Cub Cadets to do garden work so I built her a small trailer to haul flowers, plants, fertilizer, weeds, etc. Since we have a lot of fenced in pasture, the trailer also turned out to be handy for hauling fencing supplies. At first, I would load and unload fence supplies every time I needed to repair or replace fencing. As our fence got older more and more supplies were left on the trailer. It eventually became a dedicated trailer for fixing fence and my wife no longer had use of it for gardening.

 How a voltage regulator works
When I had a regulator problem with one of my Cub Cadets, I set out to find out how the regulator worked. I couldn’t find any good, simple discussions on the subject, so I played around until I found how I think everything works. This article is based on my ideas and impressions and isn’t necessarily correct but seemed to make sense to me. I take no responsibility for the accuracy of my ideas. In all the discussion that follows, when I refer to the generator, it’s actually the starter/generator used on older model Cub Cadets. The discussion also refers specifically to the type of regulator shown above. CAUTION: A battery can explode as a result of a spark or overcharging. Wear appropriate safety gear when working on the charging system, especially safety glasses. |
