Problem with my LX176 tractor

Where does the rod mechanically engage the brake safety switch?

From the manual which is "not worth investing in", sorry I could just not help myself.

The switch appears to reside on top of the box.

Looks like quite a mess under there.
The parts diagrams are available from the JD web site but are not as useful as one would have hoped for.

Looks like you are missing everything from # 18 through to # 21 .
At a guess the rod fell off and got eaten up by the deck pulleys
