I finally have spark.
kind of crazy.
I was ready to put an external coil on it and had an old JD 6.volt.
But before I did this I put a battery on the tractor just to make sure the starter was 6 volt and to check polarity of the ground.
After some fiddling I finally got the starter to turn over the crank shaft. I still had the plug out and up on the head and as I was cranking it with the starter I noticed I had spark. WALLA!
So I guess this tells me that after all my frustration it was a matter of not turning the crank fast enough.
So now I'm on to the next step of getting the gas train cleaned up and hopefully she'll take off.
Thanks again for your help.
