NOW what needs to be replaced?
As much as I really like this 1210 (when it's running), it's failure to hold a charge is becoming frustrating. I've replaced the battery, the voltage regulator, and most recently the coil (done by the local CC dealer). They went over the tractor looking for additional things to fix, and found nothing. I asked about the stator and they told me it was fine. This was 5 weeks ago. It started & ran flawlessly, cuts beautifully...until today. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Get a battery disconnect switch, put it between the + and the battery cable then get a trickle charger to keep the battery charged and you should be good. No this doesn't cure whatever is wrong but your battery will be charged. Other than that the only other suggestion I have is that you sell the 1210 and go buy a new tractor. The 1210 is 30+ years old so it is at the age that it is going to need some TLC.

I'd be checking the ignition switch....
Only way to find a battery draw is to disconnect the negative battery cable, then connect a test light to the cable, and the other end to the battery post. Key off, if it lights up, you have a draw. If it lights, start disconnecting things one at a time until the light goes out. Isolate that circuit and repair the bad part/wire. If it doesn't light up, you either have a bad battery, or a charging problem. Or do as Sam suggested. Dealer likely doesn't have any mechanics smart enough to fix an electrical issue. Especially if they replaced the ignition coil to fix a draw. Not related in the least.

Lots of good info to start with but, some repair shops, dealers have a supply of mice that they put in your blower housing to cause issues with your tractor, you can weed these guys out by asking if they like cheese.

Do you have a volt meter? Make sure the voltage on the battery is between 13.5 and 15 volts when running.
And make sure the battery is clean. Residue on a battery can make it slowly drain. Please report back what you find.

15V is a tad high. If he is getting 15V, then he probably does have residue on the battery, due to it getting overcharged. 14.5/14.6 is as high as you should see on a 12V charging system.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
