Pull both plugs. Stick your finger in each hole and crank the engine. You know one cylinder has enough compression to run. How does the other one compare.

Move your spark plug wires away from your hand so you don't get a false reading.

If the problem was lack of fuel, pulling the choke out a little while it's running should smooth it out.
Some auto parts stores will let you borrow a compression tester.

The original post said he had spark at both plugs but one appeared to be stronger spark

Read post #1. He said it will run on one cylinder but not the other. Classic loss of compression in one hole.

I suggest you pull the valve cover and check for a push rod that got out from under the rocker arm.

The good side blew my finger out right away, other side did basically nothing.

Welp, guess that's why it came off. Barely any force on it and it just failed.

Looks like you can't just buy the rocker arm, gotta buy this the whole valvetrain replacement set: includes (4) push rods; (4) rocker arm pivot; (4) stamped rocker-cyl saddle arm; (4) hex flange screw

Knowing the rocker arm broke, is there anything else I should look for or replace?

I would check for a stuck valve.

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.
