I bought a new starter switch for my 130 from CaseIH, back in Jan. The switch has not been damaged in any way, Today it stuck, not enough to engage the starter, but I could hear battery humming and turning into a bubbling sound. It was probably stuck less than 30 seconds as I had just started the tractor and moved it about 20'. I hit the starter switch with my fist and it popped out.
I took a battery cable off and the button was clearly sticking. Applied some penetrating oil and it freed right up. Put my cable back and it was almost dead. I hand cranked it and it fired right up, alternator charging. I moved it up in front of shop door and after 10 min shut it off. It was better but still wouldn't crank. I put a charger on it for two hours, now it cranks as well as ever and starts. I think I'm safe on the starter, but I'm betting that barrtey will be dead again in the morning.
I raise this as I've had 6 of these tractors in the past 50 years, currently still have 3 one of them being the original. In all my years, I never had one of those switches stick. Also in all my years, I've never seen such a tin can example of one of those switches. I could just as easily not noticed that and gone to the house for the night.

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
