Very common for points to get a coating of corrosion from sitting.
Try cleaning them with a point file or contact cleaner and a business card.
Then check for spark at the plugs, not just at the coil. While the plugs are out, give each cylinder a few squirts of oil, let it sit while doing other things, then spin it out before replacing the plugs.
Once spark is established, pull the drain plug on the carb, open the fuel valve and see if fuel drains through the carb. It should establish a good flow. It nothing, or only a drip, there is a restriction, stuck needle, clogged screen. The carb may need to come apart and be cleaned. Not a difficult job, and if careful the gasket can be reused.
If it still won't start, check the compression. A trained ear will hear each cylinder build compression. If the cranking sounds uneven, it may have some stuck valves. They can usually be freed up with penetrating oil on the stem, prying and tapping with a small hammer.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
