Sorry the one pic is bad, i labeled the prongs that have letters on them. Starting at the bottom going counter clockwise it's M,B,S,A,Y. The far left prong had a single black wire going to it and the rest were in a pigtail. The bottom left prong to the left of the M has 2 yellow wires going into it, those are in the pigtail along with M,B,S,A,Y.

The one all by itself and turned sideways should be the G = Ground terminal.
Confirm this by checking continuity, it should not have any in all positions other than off when it will be connected to the M = magneto terminal to ground the mag.
The other wire will be an A or L terminal
So you have a 7 terminal ignition switch, that is a good start.
On some wiring the G terminal is not part of the plug and has it's own wire.

That single black wire is a ground.

Where is the BLACK wire connected as a ground .... does it go to the coil ..??

Do you have the connector from the key-switch..?? a picture of it ON the switch wwith the wires ( if you have any left) would be VERY VERY helpful, do you have the connector on the carb solenoid..if so .. what color wire is NEXT to the GRAY wire and is it connected anywhere ..??

I'm NOT there .... YOU are my eyes ...... I can only help YOU ... if YOU help ME !!

can you understand the wiring diagram I posted..??

OK did some digging, I'm confused about the M terminal, .. & the one next to it with the YELLOW wires, I think you may have those 2 confused ...... you will have to check closely, the YELLOWS should be on the M terminal......check out these pics & DIAGRAM, ... THIS ... SHOULD be the diagram for your mower as I asked before .. do you know how to read the diagram .??? also examine these pics CAREFULLY, ...... NOTE THE LETTERS ON THE BACK OF THE SWITCH !! ARE THEY THE SAME AS YOURS EXACTLY ??? From what I see, the bottom CENTER terminal should be the "L" terminal ..!!! and "M" should be NEXT to the "G" terminal.

IF so .... THEN this is the diagram to use ... it's used on the 40, 42, & 46 inch deck machines ( see bottom of diagram ) KEEP me up dated...........

Only problem with that Boo is there is no guarantee that the switch he has is the one that came with the mower.
Most of the mangled wiring I find. originated from trying to fit the wrong ignition switch.
Even seen car switches used several times.
Must have all been done by the same dipstick as they all used a N/C relay to ground the magneto to turn the thing off.

The wiring diagram ( if you can call it that ) which you supplied is the export one with single pole safety switches.
I would think he has double pole safety switches with the extra magneto kill wires

I lied, there are 2 black wires. One is grounded next to the starter solenoid by the steering wheel shaft and the other runs up to the headlights. The gray wire connected to the carb runs into a pigtail with the black wire from the coil.

I look at my switch a little harder with better light and i see other letters now. It matches the one in the picture you posted. So the 2 yellow wires are going into the bottom left (per my pic) M terminal. Then to the right of that is the L terminal.

I'll be able to get it all wired back together with the info/diagrams you gave me, much appreciated.

Just heed the warning about power on those yellow wires.
leave the coil kill wires off till you have wired the mower, started it and tested for voltage on the yellow wires at the coil
