On your solenoid, you have two heavy cables, one on each of the two big lugs of the solenoid. One heavy cable goes to the positive post of the battery, the other heavy cable goes to the "A" terminal on your starter. You should also have a small red wire that is on one of the big lugs joining up with one of the heavy cables. Check and see which heavy cable it is joining with. It should be with the cable from the battery, otherwise you will not get power to the switch.

Ok so the batt terminal on the switch should have a wire going to the post on the solenoid with the battery cable? From what I understood from the diagram the battery term ok the switch was wired to the batt term on the regulator?

So if the batt term ok the switch goes to the solenoid, what wire would go to the batt term ok the regulator? I think you might have solved the problem

Are you getting power into the switch?

If so, and you aren't getting any power to the solenoid, then it's your switch. (If your solenoid is wired directly to the switch as you say, with no safeties in between.

If you have no power TO the switch, trace back from there.

No power to the switch, wire is ran from the small post on the solenoid to the batt terminal on the switch. No power to the small terminal so no power at the switch

The power going to the switch has to come from the battery, and be connected to the battery terminal of the switch.

When the switch it turned to start, the power then is allowed to flow to the small terminal on the solenoid, that inturn energizes the sol, allowing the high amperage to flow across the large terminals to the starter, making it start.
just so you understand.

Ok I understand that now, so what wire will go on the small terminal of the sol? And what wire would go to the batt term on the regulator?

Blue cub here is the wiring diagram that is for your tractor. Please compare what you have to what needs to be on it with this diagram.

Bluecub, if nothing has been all cobbed up you should have two thin wires going to the solenoid. One is most likely orange and black (may look red, but it's orange). That wire should go to the small post on the solenoid. It comes thru the clutch safety switch (which you say you has been removed). The other wire into the safety switch would have been solid orange. To bypass the safety switch the orange and orange/black wires would have to be connected together, by a shorting jumper or stripped and twisted together.

So assuming that is your case, let's go back to the solenoid. There should be another thin red wire attached to one of the big posts on the solenoid, the same one that comes from the battery. Is it that way or not, can you please just answer yes or no?

No, there isn't a second wire

Also there was a wire wrapped up that was joined with another wire, I'm assuming that's for the safety switch? One end goes to the sol and the other would go where?

Sorry, I'm not a wiring guru lol. I assumed the extra wire was just disconnected and didn't go to anything

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.
