AS A TEST.............

Take a long wire. Run it from the Positive (+) Battery Terminal and touch the the small terminal on the Starter Solenoid. Does the starter engage and roll the engine over......????

i know it sounds weird, but i KNOW i've started this thing IN gear before.. many times.. so i don't think there is a switch on the brake / clutch... HOWEVER, after having it on battery charger for a bit, i noticed that the black wire (shown in the pic) to the coil was VERY hot.. so i disconnected... Thoughts?

I'll do the "test" from battery to the small term on the solenoid now.. standby for results.

i hear ya... but as some history... i took the one off the 76 (which runs) and swapped it with the 75 (current project)... 75 wouldn't hit a lick and 76 still started (with 75 solenoid) THEN, while "messing around w/wires" i think i did blow it up.. so i replaced the solenoid..just put on this eve.. Guess it's possible that it's bad, but not likely right? I'll get another tomorrow and try it.

I've read and seen that you have made new ground cables/wires but have you checked the actual ground cable from the battery to the frame?

As you follow Roland's advice using the long wire from positive battery to small terminal of starter solenoid, your test light should light up if you touch the positive terminal on the starter.......does this happen?

That black wire runs to the points. Will crank even if it's not attached. That's one oily coil! Your starter isn't locked is it? Or bendex half way out? Mines done that. A little wd 40 and a screw driver fixed that on mine.

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.
