Charles, I have no experience with or wiring diagrams of your tractor so can only hazard a guess. Does your tractor have an external voltage dropping ignition Ballast Resistor by any chance?? It would be in series with and ahead of the coil and after the ignition switch. Has your coil or any ballast resistor had any work or changes lately?? I ask that cuz if its a 12 volt system that uses an external ballast resistor and a 6 volt coil and iffffffffff the ballast were bad or accidentally shorted or by passed somehow, the 6 volt coil would run extremely hot plus the points would burn up prematurley. Of course, all else could be fine and the coil is simpy going badddddddddd on you. John T, retired electrical engineer
