Hello Hillbilly welcome to YT! To go a little farther on Jims explanation of the points as a switch this means it turns a circuit on and off. An ignition diagnostic tool I recommend for these point ignitions is a simple 12 volt test light you can purchase at many places especially auto parts stores. Place its clip on end on a good clean metal ground point on the tractor. Hold the probe end to the terminal on the coil that has a wire going to the distributor. If the points are work properly then that light should flash on and off as you crank the engine. Once you get that you should have spark from the coil. That is 80 - 90 percent of the battle. Then getting it through the distributor cap and to the plugs at the right time is the rest.
