Have replaced battery, coil, spark plugs and points. Have tried jump starting will not start. Also tried pull starting (popping the clutch) will not stay on. What could be the problem? What else might I try?

Thanks in advance.
 
Do you have a FAT BLUISH-WHITE SPARK, the colorof lightning? If not, make sure your points are set correctly, check your timing, replace the condensor. If they all check out, make sur eyou have adequate fuel delivery to the carb and make sure the carb is adjusted properly main jet 1-1/4 turns out, idle air 3/4 turn out).

If that"s good, check the compression.
 
After to do everything Jerry said, and if it still doesn't go, get a helper you don't like. You put switch on, so there's voltage to the coil, crank the starter while he holds one spark plug wire a foot or so away from the plug. He slowly moves the wire closer to the plug as you are cranking, at a certain point, he will get zapped- the tractor will run on 3. Turn off the ignition, put the wire back on the plug and have a good laugh at your friend. Oh, btw, not someone with a heart condition... seems a brand new coil sometimes need to get ??? energized? polarized?? Worked for me twice so far. But sort of a last resort....
