Okay a little update. So I checked the battery, and I have 12 volts, good right. Not quite only had 12 volts because I had previously used jumper cables too try and start it. Come to find out last time I ran the mower with the new battery, it was not charging. And therefore drained it enough to not allow enough for a good spark. At least that's what I think was happening. And while pulling and poking at all the wiring I found the ignition plug, has a broken or loose wire in it. So that only works if I keep an upwards pressure on while turning the key. So now I keep the jumper cables attached, pull up on the ignition switch and it STARTS. I was so happy I ran in around the property with 2 flat tires! I guess now I've got diagnose the no battery charging. No apologies needed, I need the explanation. I'm a fixer not a troubleshooter.

You might very well find the Ign switch terminals are also causing the no charge condition.
I'd make sure all the terminal ends and spades they attach to, are clean. The wire ends are available as is the plug they go into if they are bad. Its common of those old machines especially when they sit outside. The switch spades are metal and the wire ends are copper. The metal spades are lightly flash plated, and over time, rust. This produces resistance in the connection which in turn causes more heat which in turn makes more corrosion. it is a Domino affect. Take your time and be careful, the old terminals are delicate. Most just replace the switch WITH THE PROPER ONE! (most important) as some "will fit" switches look the same but are not compatible.

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.
