Bluecub, here is a drawing that depicts only the starting portion of you wiring harness. It cant be drawn any simpler.

The safety switch connects the orange and orange/black wires together when you depress the clutch/brake pedal. If you don't have the switch (or it's bad) those wires must be connected together for your solenoid to operate.

There should be a light gauge red wire from the same lug as the battery cable on the solenoid going to the ammeter. You said you have no meter but you didn't say if the tractor never had one or it it was removed. If it was removed then the red wire from the solenoid, the gray wire to the voltage regulator, and the green wire to the key switch must all be connected together.

Just so you understand the components:
Solenoid - is just a switch that connects the high current cable from the battery to the high current cable to the starter.
Key Switch - when turned to the start position uses low current from the battery to operate the solenoid.
Ammeter - Shows the direction of current flow to/from the battery thus giving you a visual indication of your battery and charging system. It is optional, not necessary.
Safety Switch - Obviously meant to protect those who can't protect themselves.

Good luck!

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.
