Complete re wiring for my beast

I have a toro wheel horse 264-6 with the peerless rear end and the wiring is a nightmare as the people who owned it before me messed it all up. I wanted to know how I could just wire it for starting it re charging the battery, and running my headlights. I am not very good with electrical stuff thats why I am asking here for help from people who do this kind of stuff often. Right now half of the saftey switches are bad and keep the engine from starting, instead of bypassing them I would rather re do it all, so I don't have to deal with a big mess of wires and I know what goes where.
