First, I want to thank everyone for all of the help and suggestions.
The latest update is that I do not get any spark from the coil. I put the old coil back on and couldn't get any spark from it either. I took a coil off another engine and couldn't get any spark with it either.
With the ign. switch on, (but not cranking the motor) I have 12 volts from the positive terminal of the coil to ground. I also have 12 volts from the negative terminal (which is connected to the outside distributor terminal) to ground. John T says this should not be, but with the coil disconnected and sitting on a bench, there is only about 1 ohm resistance across these terminals. So, if you have voltage on one terminal, how can you not have it on the other?
I will replace the cable from the distributor cap to the coil tomorrow, but I don't expect that to work either.
I have had the tractor for 10 years. I put about 50 hours a year on it and it has always run well, but now I'm thinking I have spent more time on it than the thing is worth. If the new coil cable doesn't do the trick, I think I will disassemble the tractor and sell it for scrap iron.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
