Cub Cadet model 2130 Won't Start

Mowing and pto disengaged. Pushed mow switch to off, pulled up and no blade engagement. Turned mower off, lots of splutter and a backfire! Mower seemed very hot!

When tried to restart, no power like dead battery. I rocked mower a little while in seat (had this no power thing a few times before and usually will start if jiggle mower)! Can't remember if in gear or not when jiggle corrects problem.

Tried again, Light came on saying low oil. (checked b 4 starting and oil ok, rechecked still ok) still no ignition. next turn of key, completely dead.

Started checking and mice had loaded shielded area of motor with insulation and grass. Removed, let mower cool completely, still no ignition.

Next day, first time I turned key oil light came on again, moved gear lever, up and down on pto switch, DEAD!

Where do I start?

Think might be one of the deadman switches...

How many? 1 under seat I can see.....where are the rest? How to check?
