Not sure I fully understand your question, or whats happening, but will give a try....If tractor needed jump started, and quit when unhooking the booster cables, then the battery is junk and the voltage regulator is probably bad as well . Now, you say the engine won't start? Have you made sure its not a fuel issue? Remove the air cleaner and spray carb cleaner into the carb throat while cranking it over and see if it starts. If it does, then its a fuel related issue. If it doesn't start, then its a spark issue. These tractors have an ignition control box located up under the dash. A black box held in by one bolt. These were prone to fail on early models. Both ignition coils should not have needed replaced at the same time. Wasted money there. Make sure you properly set the air gap on the coils. Should be approx. .010 clearance between coil and flywheel magnet. Good luck
