GPintheMitten -- It does have a new coil. Yes, the points opened up and closed the same on all 4 lobes. I heard of one "test" where I can have the key ON and measure the voltage of the coil. If I spin the fan on the front of the engine I should see the voltage drop/change as points open and close. Also/alternatively I can have the spark plugs out and look for voltage as I try to fire the engine.
MasseyWV -- I will stop by an auto parts store today and see if they have a condenser. Worst case scenario is I can drive to a tractor parts store and pick one up.
If testing the coil on the tractor doesn't work I am going to pull the distrib/coil assembly off of the tractor and see if the pigtail for the condenser is grounded anywhere.
