Run a compression check on that engine to see if the pistons rings are seized or severely worn
sleeves or both. This is what creates a vacuum
to pull that atomized fuel into the combustion
chamber. The compression readings should be close to one another.

Squirt a little gas into one of plug holes and see if the engine fires. Hal

PS: Has the distributor been remove before you got the tractor? To make sure it hasn't, remove No1 plug and bring the engine up the compression stroke. Someone will need to hold
a thumb over the hole while you hand crank or bump
the engine over easy until you feel compression
against your thumb. Slowly bring the engine to the first notch on the damper pulley. Your No1 piston should be at TDC now. See if the rotor
is pointing to No1 plug wire in the distributor cap. If it is the distributor is ok. Remember
you must feel compression against that thumb.
