Probably a Fairbanks Morse FMJ magnito, as these were the most common on a AC B or C tractor.To clean the points, remove the cap that has 2 screws, and take note of where the rotor bug is pointing at, then remove the 4 scrws holding the bakelite cap on.After exposing the points, go sneak the wife's sandpaper nail board, out of the house, and insert it between the closed points, and sand them shiney. Blow all sand out of the magnito, and reinstall the bakeite cap,MAKING SURE THAT THE ROTOR STILL POINTS WHERE IT DID PREVIOUSLY. This assumes that you didn't rotate the engine during the above actions. replace the cap with 2 screws, and try for fire. If no fire then your condenser or coil is bad, or the kill switch is grounded out. Good luck

On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
