If this were my tractor, I would hook up a test light to where the ignition 
comes into the coil. When you turn the ignition on the test light should 
come on. Start the tractor and let it run watching the test light until it 
stops. If the test light goes out as the tractor stops you have a problem 
with the wiring. If the light remains on, then it is probably a fuel 
problem. This should work because by replacing the coil, points,etc. you 
should have already eliminated any problems past the coil. When I was a 
kid, we also had a 1952 Super C. At that time this was one of our main 
tractors. It was during cultivating season and we were having almost the 
same problem as you although it usually ran longer than 2 minutes. I was 
old enough to cultivate (12 or14) and it would stop about twice a round. We 
put up with it for about a month as we could not figure it out. Finally, 
one day it just quite and would not start. My dad called the dealer and he 
sent someone out. After checking various things, he said the problem was 
something with the ammeter. We were told that something inside was cutting 
off electric to the ignition. He installed a new ammeter and we never had 
that problem again. I'm not saying this is your problem, just that 
electrical problems can be hard to find. It could also be a fuel problem, 
as has already been suggested. If you determine the problem is fuel 
related, I wouldn't get into that as it has already been covered many times 
on this list. Please update us on what you find.
