Ok it finally happened frying the link and the mating plug. I have a new fusible link (red factory Messicks). The entire plug shattered when pulling them apart. I can agriculturally engineer a couple female connectors to fit. Wondering what is that connector p/n. Must be there to reduce foreign clutter in the male end. I can tape it but starter wire is brittle so may as well replace it. Always wait until winter for these little projects lol
Manual schematic is not very clear on this. Imagine the fusible is between switch and starter. Thxsmch

Correction: the following is wrong.To be clear on terminology, I think you have a Slow Blow fuse not a fusible link which is just a special piece of wire.

I checked the parts and you do have a fusible link.

The fusible link protection is in the main circuit feeding the tractor. This does not include starter current but would include starter solenoid trigger wire.

I do not know of suppliers selling the tractor half of the fusible link connector.

It is a fusible link that connected to the wire pair from switch to starter. Kubota 36330-75380 Fusible Link.
I can just use 10GA yellow female spades. The connection would not be as protective
I reckon one could use a 10GA ATC fuse carrier. That’s the easy way out! It’s a red fusible so 20 Amps. Using an ATC fuse Holder would you change resistance engineered into factory fusible link so drop ATC from 20 to 15
