The battery isn't charging on my JD LT133. Upon investigation, I found a broken black wire coming off a four pin connector. I think (guess) it's Running to the voltage regulator, it splits into a two wire (black and yellow) between the engine and the connector. When I touch the black wire to it's broken connector it archs even though the mower is off.

The engine is a Kohler CV13s

I think I should just disconnect the battery and repair the connection. Any advice?

Voltage regulator normally has three terminals, outer two AC and the center one DC. The black wire should be the ground. You are going to do some more investigating, and in my opinion, DO NOT connect that black wire to the yellow wire until you are positive it goes there. Check a little farther into the wiring harness to see if you have another broken wire.
