I appreciate all the information. I agree, I need to troubleshoot instead of buy parts till I run out of money.
I read somewhere about the voltage across the points (when open) and tried that last night after it stopped running and got a reading. I will check for a short at the points as you recommended. the plug and coil wires are new. I did not change the points and condensor so I can't put the OLD one back in. Could it be a condensor?
maybe worth noting, after buying the tractor, I had the carb rebuilt checked the plug gaps, point gap and timing. the tractor fired right up, but I did notice a miss and I never saw a nice white/blue spark, always a weak orange spark. I ran the tractor and it stopped. after cooling down, it started right back up. this had happened a few times, till it would not start at all. that's when I went and bought the coil. but here I am again, ran for about 10 minutes and now I have no spark.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
