Have not "checked" the ground from battery to frame.. just assumed.. duh, i'll try that this evening. Also, no matter what i do, when i test for juice at the solenoid, i never get anything on the other "big lug." Only on hot coming in and yes, on the small term when key in start position. NO circumstance will it light up on the other big lug going to the starter... BUT, i have power at the proper locations on the coil when key is on....

Nobody asked because the OP stated it turned by hand the very first post.

Engine will turn when i touch hot side of battery charger to starter....

Don't know about the starter being bad... wouldn't i still have power to it even if it wouldn't work?

I swapped coils from the 76 to the 75... 76 still starts, 75 won't...

Forgive me if anyone already asked this , I didn't see it....

But my question is:
Does your solenoid have one small terminal and two big terminals or
two small terminals and two big terminals??

the orig one had two big and one small... the one i replaced it with has 2 each...
didn't think the 4th term (small one) would matter.. Only one small had nut on it, so i used that one.

It does matter.
The solenoids with one small terminal get their ground through the metal case.
The solenoids with two small terminals energize by putting battery to one small terminal and ground to the other.
Run a wire from your other small terminal to chassis ground and you should be good to go.

OK, cool! I'll try that this evening...

FYI everyone, i'm gathering info during the day (while at work) and then i print off all this stuff and try it in the evenings...

Once i get it running, i'll have some clutch / brake questions... (basically it has no brakes. lol )

Iron man has it. No ground to that style of solenoid is what's causing your issue. Good call iron man, it's all in the details.

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.
