I wish there was an easier way but now that you have shared the whole story I suggest you start at the beginning. That is, do a compression test, both wet and dry. That will tell you if you are dealing with ring and/or valve problems. If that's OK, then it's not likely a carburetor problem as all cylinders would be affected. That leaves the ignition system. Hook up your timing light and start the engine. Check the light against the timing mark. You are looking for a steady reading for now. If the reading skips around, the distributor is shot. If not, then the problem is the points, condensor, rotor, cap, wires, or plugs (not likely the coil). If it were me, I'd replace all of them. Given that this tractor is new to you, that might not be a bad idea so at least you have a known good ignition system. I know it's expensive so you might want to start with the rotor and cap and hopefully you'll get lucky.
