Has anyone tried using a lawn mower 12 volt battery in a cub? As easy as they start,they should work, and much cheaper too

Re: Battery
Kodiak in Georgia uses them.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Battery
I have used one for over 3 years on my 55 LoBoy that was converted to 12V and have had no issues. I would go with the higher CCA because I feel they last longer. With a propertly functioning electrical system, I wouldn't expect any problems.
Good luck,
Good luck,

Re: Battery
A cheap Value power battery from Walmart (26R) is under $50 and has lasted years for me.

Cold weather starts have not been an issue, but I do rotate battery tenders on all my batteries (when I remember).
I'm not pushing L&G batteries, just responding to your initial question. I have "correct" batteries in my other Cubs. I fried a battery with a bad 12V conversion, which Gary Dotson rescued me from. I grabbed a L&G battery out of a Cub Cadet, intending to be temporary and it worked fine so I just left it.
Best of luck,
David

So far, Paul and Ringo have arrived. John and George were supposed to follow ages ago, but apparently have gone awol. Long story. - Circle of Safety: Y

I looked around, but couldn’t beat the Walmart price. Good thing it has a 1 year replacement warranty, though. It suddenly decided it won’t take a enough of a charge to start the tractor at 11 months, so back it goes.

Interesting cub, a factory option with the white hood? I love it!
better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it...( YES this includes CUBS! )

Re: Battery
with the room in the battery box could not a person use 2 LM batts in parallel for increased amps?

Re: Battery
I paid over $120 last January for a 26 r from Napa, they do last a few years , just thought might be cheaper with a L+G battery
