No, it would burn up the coil. Points don't care about 6 or 12 volt they are only a switch to open and close a circuit.
I don't have the number but they do make a coil that will have printed on the body "12V no external resistor required".
For the OP. Trouble shoot before you start buying parts. You may fix it by throwing parts at it but most often will spend a lot more money than you have to.
Find an old plug. Gap it about 1/4 inch. Then run the tractor. As soon as it dies pull a plug wire and put the old pug in it and crank the engine over. No spark means and ignition problem. Good bright blue spark means it's most likely a fuel problem. As soon as you are done checking spark: Take container to catch gas in and disconnect the fuel line at the carb or if the carb has a drain plug on the bottom of the bowl remove the plug. Watch gas flow for about one minute. Should be a steady stream about the size of the fuel line. If from the line and flow is good then it's a carb problem. If from the bowl the system is good through the needle and seat but the problem is still in the carb itself.
A little advice here. When asking questions about these old tractors you should state 6 or 12 volt as many have been converted to 12 volt. It's helps when others are trying to help you figure out a problem.

Thanks, it had a 12 volt battery in it when I bought it, I assumed it was converted to 12 volts but not sure. What all is changed when converting from 6 to 12 volt systems

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
