The reason El Toro only uses one of the small terminals is because he has a Ford starter relay in his tractor and not the correct Case solenoid. As such, the all-important safety switches have been defeated thus allowing a child or any unsuspecting adult to start this tractor while the mower deck is fully engaged and/or the tractor is in either forward or reverse.
Some people think that they are smarter than the engineers at the factory and deliberately bypass safety switches while others are simply ignorant or too cheap to install the correct solenoid so that the safety switches remain intact. Every year, thousands upon thousands of adults and children end up in the emergency rooms of hospitals as a direct result of injuries related to lawn mowers and lawn/garden tractors.
Defeating safety switches is stupid. Find out whether you have a defective solenoid, bad connection or a non-operating safety switch and then replace the defective part with an OEM unit. If something really bad happens to anyone as a result of you not repairing this tractor properly, you'll never forgive yourself.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
