Cool tractor! Lots of pics on the net. Corps would have used them for pulling rollers or sweepers. Ordnance would use for pulling wagons around depots. Hope you restore it!
When it’s sputtering are you getting black smoke? Maybe this is the carburetor flooding. Hard to detect this since you can’t see down the throat of the Holley.
No way you are licked. This 302 has to be one of the simplest engines to work on, the only thing going against you is that everything is 74 years old. Back to the basics, fuel and spark.
Recheck your points gap. I think you messed up setting them.
Suggest you connect a voltmeter to the 24 volt feed to the ignitor. Put the meter where you can see the display. Go for a ride and determine if the stalling coincides with voltage loss to the ignitor. I suspect your wiring is ancient.
Are you working with Supplement 7. Do either of the PCS solenoid wires show continuity with ground. Is there ATF in the Deutch connector. The usual suspects.
