All good advice so far.
Light switch is Charge, Bright, Dim.
Pop the distributor cap and check the points. Glazed points are the first culprit on a Farmall sitting. Clean the point with a thin fingernail file. They should open 0.040" on top of the lobe, about like an old dime worn thin. Point setting is not real critical to get one started so long as the points are closing all the way and opening all the way. Then check to verify you have spark. It has been converted to 12v, it will have a resistor for the coil, and a 6v coil will run on 12v just don't do more than get it started then verify everything is in place. Old Chevys with 12v and points had a bypass to put 12v on the coil during starting so don't worry about 6v initially.
Put some oil in the spark plug holes if it has low compression and that may help it get started. Spark plug socket is 7/8".
