Thanks for the confirmation. I was able to test the points off of the tractor and find out that they indeed were not sparking. Tightening them up a bit and using a .015 shim to make sure they are gapped correctly was the trick -- they sparked just fine and I popped the distributor back on the tractor. She started right up but still had the stumble/miss. Bugger. So I recorded taking off each spark plug wire that was previously suggested here. If you watch the video you will see that when pulling the wire from all 4 cylinders it stumbled worse and in a different way.
Any other troubleshooting you can think of? Thanks for all of your patience so far.
