Im NOT a Ford man but will offer a few THEORY based tips.
A test light on the coils INPUT (from ignition switch) side should show voltage anytime the key is on......
A test light on the coils OUTPUT (which goes to the points) as the engine is cranked over slowly and key ON SHOULD FLASH ON (when points open) AND OFF WHEN CLOSED. Its not gonna fire unless that is happening
With tractor setting not running (dont leave key on very long) with key ON most often the points are closed (only open at a pistons TDC) so a test light on coils output (IE points) is usually OFF
If you put 12 volts on a 6 volt coil very long it could burn the coil (*&^%$#
Burned corroded pitted points are often the cause of no fire CHECK THEM FIRST
This is theory (but hope it helps) now do what the Ford experts tell you

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
