No Spark - My Riding Lawn Mower Won't start

I have an old Signature TMO-31000002 (same as MTD 132A670G088) riding mower. At the end of last season it wouldn't start when I wanted to move it around in my barn. This was after a summer of flawless performance. I figured I'd fix it this spring only to find that mice had moved in over the winter. I've cleaned a bunch and even had it running one night, mysteriously, but now it won't start again. I've found that there is no spark to the (new) plugs. There is evidence of mice chewing a little on one of the wires as you can see in the picture but they don't appear to have broken the connection.
It looks like the wires connect to a block. I get how it works but I don't know what it's called and I can't find the part online anywhere.
I also see a lot of rust around the part that spins. Again, I don't know the names for these parts but I see that a good connection is needed to create the sparks in the plugs as the thing rotates.
Do I need to replace the wire/block? Where could I find it?
Should I polish the spinning thing? Should I add dialectic grease?
Thanks in advance!
