Default 126 wiring
My 126 seems to be positive ground. Has anyone seen this s before? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for it?
Problems started when battery wasn't charging

I don't think the Cubs came in positive ground, at least I've never seen one, and the factory wire diagram has never shown one.

The wire diagram is page 29 and 30

I haven't seen any with negative ground either. It could be done, I think the starter/generator could be polarized either way, not sure about the regulator.

A previous owner could have had anything changed on it, they are 50+ years old.

I'm not so sure about the regulator, either. But I would think the both the ammeter and coil +/- leads would have been swapped.

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.
