The grounding cable is an issue (with age) on these Quietline Series Tractors. That should be checked, along with the cable, and the connection points. The biggest aspect of this issue is the Engine Starter.

The spade terminals on the Ign Sw are metal and plated thinly.
As moisture and vibration as well as electrical conductivity begin to erode the plating, the terminal rusts and looses good contact.
Poor contact causes mini arching, and more rust forms, and so on.
Pretty quick the heat produced from arcing begins to melt the plastic connector holder.
Just like a small snowball grows as it continues down hill.
There is not a large current draw causing the problem.
It is a corrosion problem compounding itself.
Add to that, usage in a moist environment either from high humidity, and or outside conditions and you have a failure of the connections.
You can purchase individual female spades and the plastic molded holder/connector on Epay if you so choose.

This EXACT thing happened to my 24G Gravely,, which is wired the same way,,

The dilemma is that the charging amps go through the plug-on connections at the switch.

When corrosion occurs, the charging current melts the connector,,

I did what Roland said to do, terminate each wire with a new stab-on,,,

The 24G is perfect now,,,

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.
