See if you can rig your test light up to the coil so that you can crank the tractor over and watch the light. Clamp the test light lead on the coil and use a set of jumper cables or any wire with alligator clips on both ends to ground the point of the light to the frame.
When you have the test light on the wire going from the coil to the points(and the point of the test light grounded to the frame), the light should flash as you crank the engine over. If it doesn't then your point gap need adjusted.
Did the tractor run before? Could be that the breaker cam on the distributor is worn out.
