I resurrected an old 1951 TO20 from the brush yesterday and tried to see if i could get it going again. The machine has no spark at all. I tried 3 different coils, 2 different coil wires and cleaned off the contacts on the points but still have nothing. is there some other part of this tractor that supports the generation of spark that i'm not aware of?
 
Ignition switch...
Get out the volt meter. Check Voltage at the coil
with the points open. Got it? No? Fix it.
(Points closed completes the circuit and voltage
will be less.)
Yes? Cap off, coil wire grounded, points cover off,
crank the engine with the key on. You should see
spark at the points. No spark? Bad condensor?
