Hard starting Super M

I think I already know the answer to this but thought I'd run it past you experts.
My Super M's been getting hard to start. I run the tractor about 10-15 hours a year mostly to bushhog. Last year after taking a lunch break we came back and the tractor didn't want to start, it had to crank and crank. Fortunately the 6v battery had plenty of power. After 3 tries with maybe 1 minute total cranking it fired up and worked fine all day. The next morning it started fine.
This year it'll start hard if you've either just shut down or if it's sat for less than about 8 hours. If its totally cold it starts pretty easy.
The plan is to replace the points, condensor, plugs, wires, cap and rotor since none have been done in about 15 years. The plugs right now are d23 champions which I'm told aren't made any more and that we should go with d21 champion. I was thinking about going with NGK plugs (I don't remember the cross, A6 maybe?) as I use them in my chainsaws, snowmobiles and lawnmower and they work great. Has anybody tried NGK in a Farmall?
