First of all, I want to thank everyone for your help. I learned a lot and I know that if it was not for this forum, my tractor would still not be running.
I put the battery back in after charging it for a while. It was reading about 12.5 volts. I flipped on the ignition and still got no voltage at the coil, so I traced the wire back.
I looked in at the ignition switch from the inside of the panel and noticed that the input wire to the ignition switch did not go anywhere, it was just a 6 inch section of bare ended wire. I then found the other part of that wire and noticed that the coupling between those wires had broken. I used some electrical tape as a quick fix and attached the wires together again.
I flipped on the ignition switch and measured just under 12 volts at the coil, so I knew I was in business. I used the starter and the tractor fired right up within a second.
I must say, it feels very satisfying to diagnose a problem and then fix it, especially while learning so much from you all!

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
