Managed to get that replaced. Cleaned up all the other wiring , checked/cleaned all the grounds, seems fine.
Unfortunately it didn't help at all really. One new thing, when I turned the key, was a high-pitched whine from the solenoid for a few seconds. Bit of smoke when that happened too, so hopefully it didn't kill itself right off the bat. Other than that, just back to clicking.
So onto the next thing I guess (starter?). 1641 with ~950 hours, I'm not sure how much time or money I really want to put into this. I'd love to get this going just as a dedicated mower.
