I would have tried to hook a regular coil and condenser and bypass what is there. Add some juice and see if it runs better.

True, I never adjusted valve lash..

And I wouldn't have any idea how to set up another coil. I'm lost with electronics.

Whatever got into the engine happened long ago, lots of carbon built up in the gashes.

Lucky for you, they have no Electronics on them!!
just simple electricity.
a hot wire (+) from a borrowed battery, to an external coil + side, borrowed from most anything around the farm.
Another wire from the (-) side of said borrowed coil to your points/condenser.
Then a wire from (-) of borrowed battery to anywhere on the engine that is metal.
Pretty simple and no electronics!
---Well you do have to insert the spark plug wire into the center of the coil but that is a no brainer.

just some wire from an old discarded lamp and a few alley-gator (or crockodile) clips and ewe is ah gittin er done.

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.
