Tractor Broke Down (Again) - Need Diagnosis

Hi everyone,
I was bush-hogging today and I guess I hit something and the tractor and the bush-hog stopped. I disengaged the PTO and tried to start it again and it acted like there was no juice in it. This is also after jiggling the wires that lead to the ignition (which is usually standard procudure for this thing) to try and get it to start.

It didn't so, depressed I went and took a nap as I was tired.

So. I go back out and I jiggle the wires and the starter works, and the fan belt turns and the engine is cranking but there is no spark/combustion this is with the throttle all the way open as well as the choke.

I could see a blue spark inside the starter if that helps - the tank has clogged the fuel line before with varnish and this time and last time I dumped sea foam in it to get rid of it - this time it didn't work (as it start up I put sea-foam in there the last time I put gas in the tractor two weeks ago.)

I guess I should start my line of questioning with:

Is it the fuel line clogged? The tractor sat for 12 years before I had it sent to the shop so there is rust in it.

Is it something more serious like I broke something major inside that old bull's belly when the PTO shaft broke?

The shear pin which I replaced with one from TSC (the rotary cutter is a 80s King Kutter and I had to replace the PTO shaft on the cutter and I reused the original shear bolt and that sheared and it was replaced) but this one didn't break...

I'm sorry if this comes across as disjoined - I know trouble shooting via the internet is a pain...I tried to be as thorough as possible.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
