Default 1975 Cub cadet 1200
If starter is rotating backwards it won't engage the engine won't turn. My starter has 12 volts to it but does nothing not even a click. I bench tester starter and it rotates backwards.

First, welcome to OCC..........

The 1200 rolled out of the factory with a Kohler K301AQS-47622 engine. On that engine should be starter:

Kohler: 45-098-06 -------> Repl:45-098-11
Bosch: 14925-27-M030SM or
Bosch: SMH12A201

13 tooth. CCW Rotation. Used on Kohler K241, K301, K321, K341. 10 thru 16 hp Engines. Direct replacement for OEM. Replaces KOHLER 45 098 06 / 45 098 11

You should be able to check & see the "stampings" on the starter to see if you have the right one.

I was almost positive that they spun CC as Lew mentioned.
I remember reading that many times on the forum.
So to try and help solve your issue, I went out to the 1250 I bought last week and turned the key. Yes as Lew said,
it does turn CC if you are looking at the starter end that has the gear which turns the motor over.
Check your wires, at the battery, ground wire to frame, everything needs to be clean. HTH
EDIT: CC = Counter Clockwise

It is all so confusing to younger people as they only learned digital clock reading.

If the battery is connected backwards (i.e. neg to term post, pos to housing) the starter will spin the wrong way and gear will not engage.

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.
