Steve: How is Iowa fall weather treating you? How did the crops turn off in the end? Last I heard from you it was very dry.

On the C if it sounds like someone turned the switch off, maybe that is just what you should check first. Check for power coming from switch to coil with switch on. There was a guy on here couple days back and that wire from switch to coil had broken. I doubt if the coil is problem as they tend act up when tractor is at operating temp and then will work again when cool. Could be in points or condencer. A couple of other problems I've had over the years is a loose distributor shaft. Tractor would stop if it hit a bump or other jolt. With that it would always restart right away. The other is striped gears on distributor drive. I have seen them strip completely, thus if points are open you have no fire. I have also seen them slip a few teeth on drive thus throwing timing off.

My first two thoughts would be power to coil and points and or condencer. May as well change both as just one. I will also tell you this, I have much better luck with ignition parts from CaseIH than other sources. I have seen ign parts from other sources that didn't fit right, didn't work well and didn't last long either.
