Dave, you may be over-diagnosing this problem. Janicholson gave some good pointers. Since you did have the coil off, make sure that those wires are not broken or loose, the wiring on a 60 year old tractor can be a bit fragile. Also, it is quite possible that some moisture did get into the ignition system, remove the distributor cap and wipe inside with a dry, clean towel, also, the contact points may have a bit of dirt on them, hold them just slightly open with your fingers and insert a dry piece of paper in between the points, let the points close, and then drag the paper out. You may want to repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times. I have actually used a one dollar bill to accomplish this, because that was what I had. Put everything back together and I think it will now start and run.
