Friends,
Many thanks for all the information you shared in my original post which is now a couple pages deep.
Today, with the help of friend, we went over the electrical system with a fine tooth comb.
There is fire through the coil (bought a new non resistor 12 volt type today). We took the coil lead and arced to the frame as we cranked the engine...a nice hot spark appeared. That"s good.
So, we know the points are working and voltage is being sent to the distributor cap.
The distributor cap and rotor button and plug wires are all new.....as is everything else, just so everybody knows...all the components have been replaced.
But.....there is no spark being distributed to the plugs....none, nada, nope, nothing! OK, I take the old distributor cap and button and try them.....still nothing. I use the new cap with the old button, nothing. I then used the new button with the old cap.....nothing.
Remember, the coil wire tosses a dandy spark when arced to the frame of the tractor....that same wire gets inserted into the distributor cap and from there....the spark ends.
Why isn"t the juice going through the cap?
The system is making electric through the coil and points....as evidenced by the coil wire arcing to the tractor frame....but once plugged into the cap(s), it ends!
My pal attached his Fluke meter to every electrode on both caps and it beeped continuity....so the caps are not bad...or so it seems. The rotor buttons are perfect....one is brand new.

In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
