The next test is at the battery terminals with the unit running, set your meter in D.C
Voltage and measure charging current coming back to the battery.
This should measure between 13 and 15 D.C. volts.

@Jodi Looks like a one way bearing. Amazon is the place to get it. Make sure that when you install the new one, that the letters on the bearing are facing towards you (away from the engine). We replaced the whole wet clutch system and ours now works great. There is a great video on youtube on how to do it. Took about 4 hours with me and the kids. Here is a link to the part we used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DNQMT9L?ref=fed_asin_title Also here is a link to the sheave that we also replaced while doing this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1JLSX2C?ref=fed_asin_title Here is a link to the belt that we used. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B092YZ69T5?ref=fed_asin_title Ours is a Cub Cadet challenger 700. They are all the same for the most part.

@Dale My mistake. It is a seal. I can tell better once i opened the picture. That seal is in the parts that the link leads to.
