I would say that either the bypass rod isn't releasing or you have much bigger issues.

I took out the battery and can feel the rod going back and forth. It feels it is hitting a notch when it does this

Without the model number it kinda hard which transaxle you have.

You might have with keyed axles and you just replace a wheel. But most late model Cubs do have Double D axles.

XT1-LT46 (13WPA1CT009) appears to use the Tuff Torq K46DM series Hydro with Double D axles so my thought is out the window.

Try raising the rear end and see if both wheel will spin the same direction at the same time.

So are you saying when you start the engine, and engage the forward/reverse pedal or handle, the mower does not move? Or is just the bypass rod in either position (in or out) and the riding mower rolls. Big difference.
yes when I start it and push either forward or reverse nothing. Also the bypass rod in either position the mower rolls

Try changing the transmission fluid if that doesn’t work you probably have faulty hydraulic pumps
had a similar problem and had to open up transmission and found broken springs in pump replaced them and all worked ok
