Gary I would first determine if it is electrical or fuel. Check for spark, ex. inductive timming light on number 1 plug try to start tractor and look at light. or place spark plug wire near ground and see if it jumps (stay away fuel tank or leaks)if it jumps a nice blue arc probly got spark. next isolate the fuel problem at the carb losen the fuel line with the strainer off and place in a large container turn on flow and see what how much flows a trickle would indicate blockage back towards the tank orther wise carb problem. I have maybe left out a few things and of course spelling is bad since the stroke, but you should be able to isolate which system is the problem and then just keep breaking it down from the big picture to a specific area good luck let us know how it comes out. Remember Safety when you have a spark pulg wire off it will shock the you know what out of you. also no smoking around the open fuel make sure Ignition is off ETC. Be Safe Ron
