OK...dealing with a paper air filter makes me wonder what else may have been modified on this tractor.
Do you still have the hand crank? Have you tried to turn it with the hand crank, with the coil wire removed, to make sure the engine will turn over? If "the motor will not turn over," how do you KNOW you have compression?
And if the starter was "checked," I suppose that means it runs without an excessive amperage draw when it's off the tractor, and the starter drive is moving into the proper position as well.
How long ago was the tractor running, before it quit on you? A year? A month? A week? Yesterday?
Do you have full voltage to the coil? That is, have you taken a volt-ohm meter and checked for at least 6 volts going TO the coil?
Personally, I'd be awfully leery of turning the engine by the fan, if it will "try to start" that way; sounds to me like a good way to lose body parts if it does accidentally start.
From your description, I still DON'T know more about your problem than I DO know about it.
