After putting up hay last weekend, I gave all the tractors a good pressure washing, and afterwards, the 8N wouldn't start. Figured it was water in the distributor cap, so I pulled it and wiped it out good. The tractor popped and ran on two cylinders for about 15 seconds and quit again.
Figured I'd have to pull the distributor for a complete clean, but then remembered it might save me some work to run a proper troubleshooting procedure first by checking for voltage to the coil.
Weren't none.
Checked voltage to the switch, and sure enough, it wasn't getting through, on or off.
Found a heavy-duty toggle switch in the parts bin which fixed the problem right up, and will probably look for another keyed switch next time I'm to town.
