First off you need to learn some simple terms and when and how to use them. Cranks means the engine is turning over to try to start. So it is cranking over but not starting right?? That said trouble shoot then parts NEVER the other way around or you will add to the problem plain and simple. #1 check and make sure you have a good blue/white spark at the center wire of the distributor and at the 4 plug wires that will jump a 1/4 inch gap or more. No spark means point are dirty or gaped wrong or not getting power to the coil. #2 pull the carb drain plug and make sure you get a good steady flow of gas that will fill a pint jar in less then 3 minutes.

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
