Oookay it didn't start the tractor. Tracked 1st problem down to a mis-wiring of the replacement ignition switch which wasn't energizing the coil. That's fixed. Since the coil was briefly dangling by the coil wire it might have bad connection...or suddenly went bad after having juice for the first time in years (possible though I'd prefer to think the former). Was running out of light to continue. Will check for proper spark tomorrow on the way home from work.
How irritating that the time so far that the tractor was running the "best" was during the initial load attempt despite fuel delivery issue.

As do some starters which then must be installed with nose-aiming-back or forward to make the engine turn the way it should.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
