Hello dketcham welcome to YT! The first question is did it run before all the ignition parts were changed out? If the suggestion old made does not help then from there I will suggest this. You will need a test light for this. Connect the test light lead to a ground, then use the jump wire suggested by old to touch the probe to verify the light works and the lead is grounded well. Now turn on the switch and make sure there is power to the coil. If so, now hold the probe to the terminal that comes out distributor and crank the engine with the starter. You may need a helper to do this. The light should flash on and off quickly as it cranks over. If the light does not light most likely you have the points set so close they are not opening or you have something touching a ground inside the distributor from when the points and condenser were installed. If the light stays on the points are gapped way to wide or they are not connected to the terminal inside the distributor correctly. I will link an Ignition Troubleshooting Guide that another member on here made up quite some time ago. It will require a bit of electrical knowledge and a test meter to fully go through all its required steps.

Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
