So when you shut down the tractor, for however long, do you close the Sediment Bulb Valve? Do you open it TWO FULL TURNS when you go to start it? If you eave valve open in may flood the engine. However, more info please. Set with a Front Mount or Angle (Side) Mount Distributor? Set with a 6V/POS GRN or 12V switcheroo job? Whatever, is the system wired correctly? Why did you decide to change the points? Since you pulled them anyway without first doing root cause problem solving, did you gap them correctly - front = .015, side = .025, and set TIMING correctly? A weak or dead battery will click click click when start switch is pressed. It would do that every time, not intermittently. Get BAT tested at a shop. I doubt it is a bad coil or condenser like many always say. Next, with engine COLD, perform the Fuel Flow Test. When it didn't start again, did you see if plugs are fouled? 99.98% of all non-starting issues are due to incorrect wiring. While battery is out at the shop verify entire wiring using the OEM sketches and manuals. Don't guess, don't just decide to yank parts off and replace willy nilly. That's not a logical procedure. You could end up with a slew of all new parts and the same non-starting problem will still be there. Next will be the spark test, as soon as it won't run. Voltage to Coil is next, then distributor.
