Are you sure you have those points nice and shiny?
The gap set at .013"? If they are shiny and gapped at .013" I would replace the condenser and then see if there's fire. Pull the coil wire from the cap and hold within 1/8-1/4" of a good ground while some makes an attempt to start the tractor. I would disconnect the ground wire at the mag for now. I would replace the coil wire too, to make sure its not the problem.

If there's fire now from the coil wire reconnect to it to the cap and check for fire at one of your plugs. If there's no fire you may have a weak coil or your magnets may have lost their magnetism. An easy way to rule out the magnets is to touch them with a flatblade screwdriver and see if they attract that screwdriver with some effort. The magnets are what creates your spark as they pass by the coil. Hal
