Yes, see if you can find someone who works on or "plays" with old tractors in your area to come over and help you. You've got a mess on your hands there, and with the limited mechanical ability/experience you have, you're just going to get confused and disgusted with the whole thing after a short time without direct flesh-and-blood help.
Since the coil gets hot and the starter tries to work, we can safely assume the basic wiring is OK, enough to operate the tractor. Stop worrying about the wiring. It is not the problem.
The next step here is to determine why the engine won't turn. Can you turn the engine by hand with the tractor in neutral? Try jacking up a wheel, putting it in 3rd, and rocking the wheel back and forth violently. The starter may be jammed against the flywheel, and you'll hear it pop out, and the engine will start turning.
Drain the engine oil. If it's thick like tar, black and mucky, has water in it, or has small chunks of metal in it, then it's bad news. If there is no engine oil, then it's REALLY bad news.
If the oil looks okay, put 3 quarts of your favorite motor oil in the engine. It doesn't really matter what you use as long as it is liquid and slippery.
