Default Can I use a 5 prong ignition switch on a Cub 123?
The 5 prong switch is marked with letters on back. B G L S M. I have to hook up my orange safety switch wire, my green ground going to solenoid and my black wire that goes to coil. Just don't know where wires go on what prongs? Any help guys would be appreciated!
THANKS!

And also this is how I've got my voltage regulator hooked up. Hope it's right? I don't think it's the original one though? The gray middle wire is hooked to an BAT prong, the top yellow wire is hooked to an L prong and the blue wire is hooked to an unmarked prong on back of regulator? And Pink wire is ground.

I would use the correct one, especially if you have a new voltage regulator. That one is for a magneto ignition.

The yellow wire should be on the f terminal not the l terminal

I was wrong, yellow wire IS hooked to top F terminal. So should the blue wire hooked to unmarked terminal in back be hooked to bottom L terminal?

The one on back is the G terminal.

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.
