I have owned a 1966 140 since 1966 (well, I was 14 when my father brought it home). She was born with a 12V negative ground generator/regulator system. You will find the regulator on the left side between the hydraulics and the air cleaner (square box with wires coming out of it) close to the serial number plate. If it's hooked up you still have a generator. If it''s gone or disconnected, then someone probably put an alternator in.
If you are going to replace the coil, don't worry about the old one, just get a 12v coil that does not need a resistor. A NAPA IC14 works fine. If there is a resistor, get rid of it. The tractor did not come with it and you don't need it.
There is lots written on here by people more knowledgeable than I about how to troubleshoot your spark problem. Search, get a test light, and start troubleshooting. It's a great tractor and I bet she's running soon.
