With this test you can jiggle the key and all the connections to see where your intermittancy is. Don't know if that is a word but hopefully you get the idea. You could use a meter but a test light would be easier to spot the trouble with.

I have no volts at the DC terminal of the voltage regulator (VR) running or not running, key on or key off.

I checked the wire from the ignition switch to the VR and it is good.

What are the terminal combinations to test the ignition switch for continuity?

I checked continuity between terminals A and B.

Key off no continuity.

Key on - Terminal B is loose. If I wiggle it with the ohmmeter connected I have intermittent continuity.
Sounds like you need a new key switch. Jump 12 volt pos to D.C. Terminal of VR and see if it charges

Agree with key switch, look at my post "1450 melted wires" I had corrosion on the key switch connections on the 5 pin Packard terminal. Sourced a new key switch, cleaned up the wiring under the dash, and..important here..cleaned up the rusty ground from the motor to the frame and added a wire with ring terminals from the mounting bolt on the Voltage regulator to the ground to make sure the V/R had a very solid ground.

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.
