You need to check to see if you're getting a good hot spark to the plugs. Pull off one of the plug
wires and hold it about 1/4' away from the engine block and have someone crank over the engine with the ignition switch on. You should have a hot spark if the ignition is ok. If the spark looks ok you need to check for gas at the carburetor.

Pull the distributor cap and check for a broken rotor, but I doubt if this occurred.

The easiest way to check to see if it jumped timing is is to pull No1 plug near the radiator
and have someone crank the engine by hand while you hold your thumb over the plug hole until you feel compression against your thumb. Then stop
the cranking and you look for the timing mark on the flywheel. You want that mark aligned with
the indicator. Your No1 piston should be at TDC.
Pull the distributor cap off and see where the rotor is pointing. It should be pointing to No1
plug wire. You may want to put some chalk on that
timing mark. By the way that's on your tractor's flywheel. Hal
