I would suggest you check the spark at the plugs; my money says that it will be weak or inconsistent. I had exactly the same problem with my 65 gas recently. I changed the plugs, plug wires, rotor, cap, coil, and voltage regulator, and it still wouldn't start. It ended up that the condensor, which was only four months old, was shot. I put in another new condensor and it started first crank. You can pick up new points and condensor (they come together) for pretty cheap at a dealer. You may want to replace the voltage regulator as well, since my dealer said it is possible that the condensor went because of inconsistent voltage. I would suggest you also dismantle the carb and give it a soak and clean. I had some problems with mine, such as poor power at times and rough running. After cleaning the carb, it has run perfectly. These carbs are pretty simple; I had never done a carb clean myself before and I survived. Regarding the air filter, it is an oil bath. You should give it a good cleaning before using. Enjoy the tractor and don't be afraid to work it hard. Thats what they were built to do!
