Well, this thing still won't hit a lick.
Backstory is, I was driving the tractor when it cut off. Did some checking, found no spark from the coil. Replaced points, condenser, cap, and rotor. Installed freshly charged battery, turned key on, AMP light came on. Hit the starter button, the solenoid clicked like the battery was dead. When I released the start button, the amp light went out. Found the two wires that go into the one connector on the starter solenoid broken. Repaired that, same problem.
I took the starter and has it tested, it operates on the test bench but smokes. Reinstalled it on the tractor, but now when I turn the key on nothing happens. I hooked my meter up to the battery, it has 12.7 volts with the key off, but drops to 0 volts when I turn the key on. That makes me think something, somewhere, is shorting out when I tun the key on. The wire from the key switch to the starter solenoid is okay (checked with an ohm meter for continuity to the frame), and the wire from the key switch to the black box under the left side of the dash is okay. I think this box might be my issue. With the key off, the top wire has 12 volts, and the other two wires have none. With the key on, it's exactly the same. Since one wire from the key goes to this box, shouldn't turning they key on cause something to happen?
