It sounds like a "Load Resistor" problem, not sure if you have this type of starting system. The load resistor is in the wiring that goes to your coil after the engine has started. It is bypassed when starting to offset the loss of voltage when the starter is engaged and turning over the engine, then after the engine has started the "Load Resistor" is again in series with the points dropping the voltage slightly and providing longer point life. If this resistor burns out then you would be able to start the tractor but as soon as you released the starter foot switch the points/distributor would no longer have voltage. The Load Resistor is a large gray, brown or white colored rectangle ( 3" long and about 1/2wide aprx.) mounted on the back side of your dash panel....
be careful with starting fluids, they strip cylinder walls, NOT a good thing. Prime with WD 40 or gasoline. forget the starter fluids. In all likely hood your carb needs cleaning. Pull the fuel line off the carb first though, and crank the engine. If you get good fuel flow, you just have a plugged fuel filter.
I would suggest a new plug and fresh gas and oil mix.push the primer bulb 8-10 times and turn choke to full.pull cord about 4 or 5 times until it starts.if it don,t stay running turn choke to half and pull cord until starts should stay running.let run for about 10 seconds then turn off choke.Almost forgot that during this whole process you hold throttle wide open.
You may simply need a new fuel cap,vacuum in the tank will rob your fuel and stall it engine,try taking off the fuel cap and see how it runs.If this does not help you may need a new fuel pump,which runs off of crank case pressure and should take over from the choke once the tractor has started.
