In early lines of your post I was gung ho with answer,now I'm not sure, but maybe not far off. My 130 was doing the same, the culpert turned out to be moisture in distributor cap. I had some rust build up on distributor where cap seals. Would start great on frosty morning, start to plow snow and every time you accelerated of let clutch out it would start missing. One day when plowing snow,got bad, stopped tractor took cap off, condensation had melted. I had a piece of paper towel in pocket, wiped it out, put it back on, 15 minutes later same thing again. When I finished plowing, went back to shop, got out reading glasses and shop light. Cap didn't fit just right, cleaned rim of distributor,got cap fitting properly sprayed it with a moisture retardent. That was the last of my problem, but you have a Mag. Doesn't mean your problem is not moisture. I remember in 40s and 50s my dad had a W4 with Mag. It was far more sensitive to moisture than H or 300.
