Pull the coil wire from the center of the distributor cap and hold it within 1/8 to 1/4" of a good ground on the tractor frame. With the ignition switch in the on position have someone
to attempt a start by cranking the engine using the starter. You may want to use a pair of insulated pliers so you don't get bitten.

You should have a nice hot blue spark while cranking. If the spark is weak and orange your coil may be the problem. If it's blue and hot
the points, condenser, rotor and wiring may be the problem. Check your plug wires at the cap
to make sure they're in the correct firing order.
If the rotor turns CW your wires should be in this order. Make sure the points are set at .020" and are clean. Slide some 320 grit paper through them and then use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to clean the points. Hal
