All good advice so far.
Light switch is Charge, Bright, Dim.
Pop the distributor cap and check the points. Glazed points are the first culprit on a Farmall sitting. Clean the point with a thin fingernail file. They should open 0.040" on top of the lobe, about like an old dime worn thin. Point setting is not real critical to get one started so long as the points are closing all the way and opening all the way. Then check to verify you have spark.
