still stumped on hot 1415 hot ammerter wires
After receiving the wire diagram and making all the changes back to original, the wires are still hot. I've narrowed it down to unplugging the magneto wire harness and the hot wires go away. When plugged back in the wires are hot on the ammeter..............bad magneto?

The mag has no power to it...the only wire that goes to the magneto is a kill wire to ground it to shut off the engine. 'Magneto wire harness' doesn't really tell us what you unplugged. Do you mean the plug at the engine or at the ignition switch. If it's the one at the engine, the alternator wire is probably shorting somewhere, or it could be one of the wires that the ammeter is connected to. At any rate, you have a broken/shorted wire somewhere.

Now I feel stupid! LOL I guess this is how we learn. Maybe it's the alternator I'm thinking of? It has a 3 wire plug on it and one runs to the spark plug wire magneto? One runs down into a 2 wire plug that i was referring to as the magneto wire harness before. The other wire runs up inside the flywheel. When this 3 wire plug is disconnected the engine will crank but not fire and the wires on the ammeter are hot, when this 3 wire plug is connected engine will fire but it the wires on the ammeter and the black wire on the ignition switch get hot. I've pulled the harness out once and inspected it for faulty wires maybe I missed something

Agree with Matt - you've got a short somewhere where battery voltage is able to get back to ground - causing high amperage flow in those wires which in turn get hot.
If nothing else, try to find a friend who is competent in using a volt-ohm-meter (VOM) or at least a 12 volt DC test light.. have the friend to help you locate the short problem. Or take the tractor to a competent service shop. Continued use w/o repair could result in additional wiring damage or even a fire. Good luck.

I am curious, there is a 20A fuse in the circuit. Isn't that opening up...???
 Pictures would be great to see.....

Roland might be onto something...there is supposed to be a fuse between the solenoid and + terminal of the charge indicator. Has it been bypassed?
Are you SURE you've got the wiring right? There are two diagrams depending on the serial number of your tractor. I just looked over one of them, and I'm guessing this must be one of the mid '90s lawn tractor models, as it has overly complicated wiring like all of the cyclops garden tractor models. What really sucks is the output from the alternator goes through a dozen things before it gets to the battery, so there's a LOT of things to check that could be shorted.

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.
