On that 12 volt tractor you claim youre using a 12 volt coil, and thats all fine n dandy IFFFFFFFFFFFF its really a full true 12 volt coil.
I say that because if a coil is labeled: "12 volts for use with (or requires) external ballast resistor" its in reality a 6 volt coil and indeed requires the external ballast (just like it says DUH) otherwise it overheats badly.
A full true 12 volt (some call internally ballasted) coil may be labeled "12 volts" or "12 volts NOT for use with ballast resistor" and thats the kind you need on a 12 volt system with no external ballast. Its internal primary winding resistance between its lil + and - terminals will be in the 2.5 to 3.5 or so ohms range if its a full true 12 volt coil no ballast required.
Theres a condensor inside the distributor thats in paralell with the points, Im not sure whats going on with one at the coil unless its there to reduce radio interference.
Even the right coil (or coil + ballast) gets fairly hot if the ignition is left on a good while n shes NOT running.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
