Take a look at the switch. There is an insulator material inside that prevents the contact strip from touching the case of the starter switch. If that was worn, it could touch. Also, ther is an insulated washer assembly to insulate the cable stud from the switch case, and that can deteriorate, or get broked if over tightened. My cub was like that, and I put a new switch on it. If you dont like the looks of a new switch on an old tractor, you can take all the new insulating stuff out of the new switch and put it in the old switch, and rebuild the old switch with the guts of the new switch.
The disconnect switch suggestion is a good one, if you dont mind the looks of it. I ususlly keep the ground strap at the battery untightend, and can yank it off if necessary.
