You likely lost power to the coil when you removed the jumpers. Do you even have a battery in that tractor? A good one?

Completely agree. It requires electric power from the battery to run. If it was a magneto, it would work but it's not.

thank you, I thought the alternator would generate enough voltage to keep it running

The 122 does not have an alternator, it has a generator. They are apples and oranges as far as electricity goes.

They both require a voltage regulator, but the generator equipped 122 has an external voltage regulator which uses voltage from the battery to energize it.
With a completely dead battery (or no battery), once you remove the jumper cables, the voltage regulator de-energizes and the voltage produced by the generator does not reach the rest of the system to give ignition to the engine.

Hope that makes sense.

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.
