Starter Generator for Cub Cadet & International Cub Cadet Tractors

Models 70 to 169, 1961-1974

This starter generator is built for Cub Cadet and International Cub Cadet garden tractors, covering models 70 through 169 built between 1961 and 1974. It is manufactured to OEM specifications for a direct, fit-and-function replacement of the original Delco unit, and every unit is assembled and bench-tested before dispatch so it is ready to install and run.

It is a 12-volt unit with counter-clockwise rotation and a 15-amp output, using the same threaded shaft with keyway as the original. As a combined starter generator it cranks the Kohler engine and then charges the battery once running, so a correctly rated replacement keeps both functions working and protects the rest of the electrical system.

Key Features

  • 12-volt starter generator
  • Counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation
  • 15-amp output
  • Threaded shaft with keyway, as original
  • Replaces the original Delco unit
  • Direct OEM fit and finish, no modification needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit without modification?

Yes, this starter generator is built to OEM dimensions and mounting points for a direct fit with no modification required.

Is this a starter, a generator, or both?

Both. Cub Cadet garden tractors of this era use a single belt-driven unit that cranks the engine to start it and then charges the battery once the engine is running.

What's included?

One complete starter generator unit, ready to install.

How do I know my old unit has failed?

Common signs include a discharged or slowly charging battery, slow or no cranking, a dim or flickering ammeter reading, or unusual noise from the unit.

Does this include the regulator?

This listing is for the starter generator unit itself; it is designed to work with an ER-type external regulator, so check your original setup before ordering.

Can I fit this myself?

Fitting is a straightforward job for anyone comfortable with basic mechanical work, using hand tools and disconnecting the battery first; if in doubt, ask a qualified technician to carry out the swap.
