Hello ..Clapped.. welcome to YT! Now use your test light on the other terminal of the coil. See if the test light flashes on and off while the engine is cranked with the starter, get a helper if needed to operate the starter. When the small round contacts of the contact points in the distributor are making a proper contact when the engine is turned so they are on the low part of the cam in the distributor they should ground out that side of the coil causing the test light to go out. When the bump on the distributor cam turns to a point they are pushed open the light will come on again. If it stays lit it means the points have degraded to where they are not functioning properly and will probably need replaced. The tractor was originally a 6 volt electrical system, has the tractor converted to 12 volts? A six volt battery would have 3 caps on top to check the electrolyte level. If it is 12 volts it sounds like you have run it about the right amount of time that a 6 volt running on 12 volts would ..clap out.. the points. If it does not have one and it has a 6 volt coil you need a proper resistor to lower the voltage to the ignition coil. More on that later.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. 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
