The switch on it should be a fairly simple to ground type, meaning when you turn it off it shorts out the coil. I'd try getting some electrical parts cleaner and spray it in the key hole and then work the key back and forth. Most times it just corroded and needs some cleaning.

If it has a Tecumseh with solid state ignition, you must make sure you get the correct switch. Wrong switch and you send 12V to ignition module and Poof! There goes $150!
These use a ground system, When you turn switch off, switch grounds out the module through the M pole.
I had one just fall part on me, thankfully my son smelled the burning and shut tractor off. The M spade just fell out of switch and was shorting on a hot terminal.
here is switch from my ST16, same ignition setup for the Tecumseh's

On my customs I am starting to add solenoids to the starting system when I have them apart for repairs,just too many amps going through the switch which I think is a major cause of their failure.
