Thank you for your responses. they were all helpful.
I think I learned the most from Jim's, and it would have been nice if the tutorial I viewed had explained things the way Jim did. I guess I thought that that the open points meant that there was no flow to the plugs, but it is just the opposite. As I understand it now, when the points are open the spark is created which goes to the plugs. When the points are closed, the flow from the coil goes to ground and no spark is created for the plugs. Huh!
So varnish on the points could be a problem by not allowing the spark to go ground and creating a sufficient spark for running the engine when the points are subsequently open.
Access is a big problem with the alternator being in the way. If I take it out in order to put the distributor and the coil back in, I assume that I might be able to try to start the tractor without it being reinstalled.
