It is not the key switch,check the grounds .Otherwise test the solenoid like Roland suggest.

I got about 2K Res from the small screw to the metal base of the solenoid. Battery also shows about 14 volts.

NEXT, you can make this test.

With a jumper wire, from the Battery (+) positive terminal to the small bolt (#10) on the solenoid , does this engage the solenoid by you hearing a "clicking" noise...???

Jumper wire from known good battery to small bolt does nothing. No clicks and no cranking. Jumper from battery to s/g makes it start.

I engaged and disengaged the PTO a few times to be sure the switch is not stuck.

I know one should not go into trouble shooting with a solution in mind, but I'm still thinking I killed the solenoid.

You don't say, but the test you just done, is this with a known good battery put into the Cub and hooked in the normal manner..???

Sounds like you're correct about the solenoid being the culprit. 2k ohms from the coil stud to ground sounds very high to me. You did this test with the small wire isolated (disconnected) from the stud? If you check and have 12v positive to the coil of the solenoid during the start position its time to change it as you are right.

I tested resistance with the solenoid removed from the tractor.

I voice in my head is telling me to rule out the PTO and drive safety switches first.

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.
