The later Quietlines had a ground from the rear of the engine and grounded to the frame under the metal gas tank heat shield where it mounts to the frame.

The intermitten starter problem is normally caused by a bad PTO switch. If you wiggle the PTO switch while engaging the starter it will usually make contact and start.
That is the cable I was trying to describe. It should be good to go. If I remember right, it was very random, occasionally it would roll over, then be dead. I suppose I will just have to start tracing wires and checking continuity. Maybe make a few jumper wire to bypass switches. Thanks for the info guys.
