Cub Charging Problem!!!
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2004 4:23 pm
I Bought a 1962 International Cub Lo-Boy Ser # 16152J which came with a dead 12 volt battery. I replaced the 12 volt battery with a new one with the battery negative ground and it starts and runs fine but the battery just keeps discharging and once shut off the Lo-Boy will not restart unless jump started. On further research I crossed referenced the starter ser# 1109611 as a 6 volt starter. I am now wondering if I should purchase a 6 volt battery and positive ground it and see if the generator will keep the 6 volt battery charged as I'm wondering if this system is still a 6 volt system. Any advice is greatly appreciated in advance and I'm wondering if I may have done damage using a 12 volt battery on what may be a 6 volt system. I've posted on this before but am still confused.
