Run a jumper wire from the positive terminal on the batt to the positive terminal on the coil, that should give you spark. Start it by using a wire from the + on the batt to the outside terminal on the starter/ generator.

I use a separate wire straight from the batt to the starter.

If this helps, here's what I do in this situation.
I have a jump pack with a pair of clamps, but you can do the same thing with a battery and jumper cables. Attach a small wire to the positive clamp by whatever method you want(screw terminal, wrap bare wire around it, whatever)--about 3 or 4 feet long, 14g or 16g is good. Attach the neg clamp to a good ground on the tractor. Attach the small wire to the +terminal on the coil. Then just touch the + clamp to the large terminal on the starter momentarily to start. Remove to let it run. The small + wire on the coil and the ground clamp is all you need to keep it running. Hope that makes sense.

Post #2 answered all questions AFAIC. Only thing I would have said different is use a jumper cable to run to the S/G and not a wire. Just because you know a jumper cable is a big enough wire, and it already has cool "alligator" ends that are easy to attach. Sure, you can use a battery charger (If you have a big enough one. Gonna need about 200A.), or a battery out of a car, or just the car sitting next to the cub. It's really, really easy. It needs voltage to the coil all the time to run, and you have to spin the starter. Simple as that.

Thanks for the responses guys.
Ended up taking the battery out of my truck and using that. It worked and engine turned but now I have another question. Can you tighten starter belt? Starter is moving but not the belt.

Yes there should be a bolt through the starter gen ear that you can loosen and at the bottom which should allow you to take the slack out of the belt. If it won't remove the slack you'll need a new belt.
One other question: Are you sure the motor isn't stuck?

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.
