The coil is a possibility, but the testing of the ignition is better than putting parts in it without knowing what the issue is. First set the points assuming it is a Farmall letter series with point and coil distributor (we still do not know what tractor it is). clean them with a little fine sand paper od an emery board. then wipe them with a folded dollar to assure they are clean. The points are set on the highest bump of the distributor cam at .020" this usually requires turning the engine by hand, or pushing in high gear as the engine does not normally stop on a compression stroke TDC. When the points are set, place the coil wire about 1/4" away from the engine block (use a clothspin to hold it or adjust the position to avoid a solid shock), turn on the ignition and use a small screw driver to bridge between the points (dont bend them, just use the driver to make contact across them.

If it sparks, the coil is good (at least when cold) Button up and try starting it again.
