I have no clue where these wires go on this ignition. Does anybody else have a clue?

Yeah, they go on all those little metal tabs 🤣
Sorry, couldn't help myself. No idea. It looks like you have more wires than tabs.

I’m not saying that this diagram is correct but see if it makes sense by following your wire’s.

It comes from a switch for sale on Amazon

Try to score a wiring diagram for your tractor. You could also try You Tube.

Post the part so we can get the terminal meanings and I’ll show you how to trace the wires back

More information would help. Is this a tractor you just got...like that?
There are different ways to go about it...but how I'd do it.
I'd get paper, pencil, multimeter, masking tape.
Tape about 2" over wires near connector ends. Number them 1,2,3,...
Meter on ohms, Rx1. Short leads...be sure reads 0 ohms. Now switch has 5 connectors. Measure 1 to 2, etc. Write down key in on position...1 has continuity to 3 (for example)...cranking 1 to 4.
Meter on DC volts. Ground black lead. Measure all wires. Say wire 1 measures 12.6 volts. Now touch wire 1 to 3...headlights come on. 1 to 4...engine cranks. (Write all this down!).
Now we know you want wire 1 to switch 1. Wire 4 to switch 4.
