Hoss, the tractor is not a lemon, it's 50 years old. All the lemons went to the scrap yard 45 years ago. If anything, you have one of the really really good ones. Things are going to be worn, and things are going to break. That's the nature of working with vintage equipment.

Your problem definitely sounds like ignition, which is one of the easiest things to fix. Pull a spark plug and put the wire back on it. Lay the plug against the frame and crank the tractor briefly. You should see a bright blue spark about once a second, roughly at the same time you hear air WHOOSH out the open plug hole.
If you've got bright blue spark, the tractor jumped timing for some reason. Do what Andrew says, and line up the timing mark on the engine's front cover with the notch in the front pulley. Pull the distributor cap and see if the rotor is pointing to the cap tower that runs to the #1 cylinder. If not, rotate the engine over 1 full turn and check again.
Check to see if the rotor spins freely by hand. It should NOT. A little slop is okay, but if you can spin it around by hand, the gear drive in your distributor is shot.

I know there are alot of possiblities here to whats wrong, but i had that happen to my Super C a few years ago. I was looking all over the place to what was wrong carb, valves, etc.. and i thought hmm ill check timing at the distrubtor didnt really think that was it but sure enough there it was. Turns out the gear that drives the distrubtor had worn to the point that it skiped time. Just someting easy to check out before going deeper all you have to do is pull off the dist. cap and see if its pointing at the #1 pole when the marks on the crank pully are lined up. (make sure 1 is on the compression stroke though)

Just my though...

Good luck Andrew
