Bill,
When checking a plug wire to see if you are getting spark, you really don't have to take the plug out, just take the wire off of the plug and hold it near the block. Any wire is OK, but if you don't get a spark, put that wire back on and take another off and try again.....just to eliminate the chance that the first wire is bad.
I don't know the exact amperage a coil draws but I think in the neighborhood of 4 amps. A 14 or 16 gauge wire should work.
My guess is that it's not likely that your ignition switch went bad while you were mowing, but maybe a wire is broken somewhere under the covering, so by jumping around it all you can determine a little better where your problem is.
As for your timing gears being stripped, that is totally possible, but a little less likely than a bad coil or a broken wire etc.....but it can and does happen. Points can get dirt between them or a small wire can come loose in distributors or a dozen other things can happen.
Bill, there are a lot of great guys/gals on this board and 99.9 percent of them are here to help. A lot of different things can go wrong and the combined group of guys and gals have experienced them all.
Some guys/gals have good knowledge of one subject, some have others, and some like Hugh McKay are well seasoned in many subjects.
We are all here to help if we can.
Stick with it, and we'll have you back mowing in no time and you will have some experience that you can pass on to others.
By all means, when you do finally track down the exact problem and cure, get back on here and let everyone know.....
I'll be out of town for a couple of days and not on here to see how you are getting along, but I'll be anxious to get back to see how you fare. By the way Bill, in what part of Vt. are you located? I've traveled Vermont a little. Good luck !
Gary

Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
