I certainly wouldn't discount those fuel related problems. I have to deal with those too and they certainly can give those symptoms but it sounds to me to be most likey the coil as you say. Starting and running fine until it gets hot and refusing to start until it cools down is a classic symptom.
Perhaps though, another possibility would be a plug related problem. I know that plugs of the improper heat range will act just as you describe. Even if they are the same plugs that you have been running for quite a while with no problem, sometimes they break down and develop faults that do not become evident until they are good and hot. If you change them out make sure that you are getting the proper range. Many of the plugs on older tractors have been moved up a heat range over time to reflect changes in gasoline composition. What you have in there may not neccessarily be what is recommended now. Your dealer or many of those who deal with antique tractor plugs would be able to tell you.
