You state I have juice to the distributor but not to plugs.
1) With the tractor not running and ignition ON the points are normally closed SO THERE WOULD BE NO JUICE/VOLTAGE TO THE DISTRIBUTOR Thats normal and correct HOWEVER with ignition ON there should be voltage on the coils input (NOT output to distributor) side.
2) If the ignition is on and engine slowly cranked over a test lamp on the distributor (output side of coil) should flash ON when points are open and OFF when they are closed
3) If theres juice/voltage to the distributor ALL THE TIME as you indicate she will never fire because the points have to close (IE zero voltage on coils output) to conduct coil current..If theres voltage ALL THE TIME the points are bad or must not be closing or wired correct
4) In the event the above were all correct, there can still be distributor cap or rotor problems so the plugs arent firing
To find the cause of no fire work through my Ignition Troubleshooting Procedure linked below it will help find the problem

It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix.
