So, I'm assuming the starter solenoid is located under the dash and therefore would be easier to access with the gas tank out of the way? The solenoid is mounted to the right side of the dash ?

According to the Parts Diagram, it looks like it's in the Dash area.

Default Success!
Well, it's fixed and parked in its rightful spot in the barn. Turns out, my tractor already had a jumper wire (tiny, and not easily visible) in the connector that attached to the safety switch that is activated by the foot pedal. I've owned this tractor for about 12 years and, apparently, hasn't had that spring switch lever in many years. So, in the end, I got to poking around and noticed the voltage regulator wire was loose. Removed the battery, crimped the wire connector, reattached, turned the key and it cranked over! I did put a new and improved jumper wire in that safety plug for now. I'll order a new switch and springy lever, but it's good to go. Over the past few days, I'd tinker with it, then come in the house and watch the Indians or Cavs or some of the NASCAR race, then I'd think of something else to try on the Cub. I'd read what you guys were offering for solutions and then go try that. I guess persistence just continues to pay off. Thanks to all of you for your help, for taking the time to offer your expertise! You guys are amazing!

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.
