Default "New" 1250 with troubles
Well I did it again! Couldn't let em' put the old dog down, so I rescued another one from death. Wonder what I was thinking!!
So I now need the advise of the experts on a problem I've got with it. It turns over very well with a new battery, but I've got no spark. Changed the normal things, put on a coil from another tractor, condenser, new spark plug, and a plug wire from another tractor. Nothing. Also cleaned the points, nothing!
What am I missing here? Wires are all good, nothing out of place.
HELP!!!

Hey Matt, I gave it a quick look around the sides, front and back and see nothing. Would it be underneath? If so I'll have to raise it up tomorrow to look.
Think that could be the trouble?

There should be a fairly heavy ground strap from the right front corner of the engine to one of the right side grille casting bolts. That might be the problem because the engine isn't grounded through the engine mounts.

Then again, that might have been a stupid question...if the starter cranks over, it's grounded somehow.

Is your new spark plug for sure good?

I took it out of one of the other tractors that run. Not technically "new" didn't want to run 4 miles for a new one. So you're thinking the ground would'nt be the problem? What about the regulator? I've never worked on one of these, newer ones before. Isn't that the little box with the three wires going to it just to the left and back of the coil.

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.
