If you're sure you're getting fire to the plugs after it quits running, check for gas flow to the carburetor. Loosen the tube nut at the carburetor inlet and see if you have a good flow or just a drip. Could be blockage in the tank from dirt or rust. Make sure the gas cap is vented. Remove it to see if that keeps the engine running. I would drain that tank into a container and check for dirt, then inspect tank with a good flashlight. Remove the coil wire from the cap and hold within 1/4" of a good ground. With the ignition switch on and the points closed snap those points open & closed a few times and check for fire at the coil wire.
Do this when the tractor quits running. Coils and condensers may start an engine when cold, then quit working after heating up. Is this still 6 volt or converted to 12? Hal
