I'd say what you have there is a VERY early mechanical grounding mechanism for your A. For the tractor to run you leave your cable in the rest position. When ity's running and you want to stop it you pull on the cable, whcih slides the internal block onto the contact to ground the mag/kill the motor. Hold the cable until the motor is stopped and then release, when the spring will move the block that actually makes the ground back out of the way.
The instructions you are following are for the two-position switch. In that case the grounding stud on the mag connects to a wire that goes back to a terminal on the switch. That switch, when in/down, grounds the mag, when out/up it breaks the ground connection.
IH switched (if you'll pardonnez le pun) from one to the other in early 1940.
