Tim, a condenser is like a storage battery. It stores electricity and then when the points open (break) it enables the mighty shot for the plugs. To test, take an ohm meter and test it AFTER discharging any electricity. Discharge by holding the body to the tractor engine and then touching the wire terminal on the end to the engine at the same time(holding it by the insulator). Next, hook up your ohm meter with the positive to the terminal and the ground to the body. Let it charge for a minute, then unhook the meter and discharge it as described above, looking for a spark. If you have the spark, it's probably OK. The cheapest thing is to replace the condenser and try starting the engine.
