It sounds like your fuel solenoid (mounted on the bottom of the carburetor) is not working. Here is a link to all the literature available for the LT 1045 (Cub Cadet is an MTD brand):
http://www.mtdproducts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/DisplayOwnersManualList?storeId=10500&catalogId=20500&langId=-1&logoCode=&modelNumber=LT1045&serialNumber=Enter+Serial+%23
If you scroll down the list, when you get to SERVICE MANUAL 07 - FUEL SHUT-OFF SOLENOID, click on PDF Version, and you can read about the fuel solenoid. I believe your tractor has a Kohler engine. Here's a link to Kohler's manuals and parts page: Kohler Engines: Owners and Service Manuals: Manuals and Maintenance
You can download your engine's service manual, which will tell how to test and replace the solenoid. Good luck!

I put a tester on lead to fuel selinoid valve.No power. There is only one fuse I can find its on the frame. It looks ok.

I got it running. I think it was the Oil Sentry. I remove it and checked it's wire.After i cleaned it The gas shut off starteds to click again.
