I recently was given a 2012 Cub Cadet Ltx 1040 for free. I was looking to figure out what's wrong with it when I came across the fact that the battery was hooked up wrong. I can only assume they tried starting it like that. What parts do I need to replace as I believe something must be fried.

This blows fuses, and sometimes the computer . Check the fuse first , if computer you may have a bigger issue!
This could also affect the alternator. The battery should be fine but the alternator/charging system is very likely shorted out.
This is a common enough problem that people who know such things advice that you first try to start it, and once started, use a meter to check the voltage, which should register at 12.5 volts dc. If the voltage is dropping, you will need to replace the charging stator, which is located under the flywheel.

Shorting out the alternator, starter and some fuses are all likely if a person has hooked up the battery wrong on anything. You will need to test the cable, the electrical system and heck to see if the switch under the seat has been tripped or not. This can also happen and the switch will need to be reset.
