Lots of good advice given so I can't add much. Here's another angle with more questions; So the engine purrs like a kitten but just slows down when it is pulling the mower and propelling the tractor at the same time? Or does it start running rough and popping through the carb like it is running lean? Is it smoking? If it is choking because of a blocked air intake it will be smoking. You said you can stall it with the choke, did it chug and smoke and then die or did it just falter and run slower till it died with no smoke? If it smoked and chugged you are probably getting enough fuel. You mentioned a coil so it must have the distributor conversion instead of a mag. A bad condenser can give you fits. As a lot of the guys on this site have mentioned in previous diagnostic posts for other tractors a brand new condenser out of the box can be bad. A partly shorted condenser will weaken the spark and make it run bad. Most times the tractor will run fine cold but start crapping out after the condenser warms up. This is just a random thought.
