Something does not sound right here. A '39 should have a square coil on the front of the engine behind the radiator.The coil has a curly pigtail sring which sometimes must be stretched slightly to make contact with the rotor button. The coil sits on top of the ditributer which is mounted with two bolts to the front of the engine.All timing and point adjustment is done with the distributer on a workbench not on the tractor. The wires need to be solid copper core resister wires do not work well with an iffy ignition system. If the tractor has an alternator it has been converted to 12V (I have never heard of a 6v alternator)There are a thousand ways to convert an Nseries to 12v and about 3 of them work. If the distributer is on the side of the engine you will have a normal round can coil. And the engine is not original to the tractor. As for no compression probably stuck valves remove the valve covers bhind the manifold and sqiurt some MMO on them rings are probably frozen also after sitting that long squirt a touch of MMO into each spark plug hole to free them up. (The MMO in the cylinders will complicate your starting problems so just do the valves untill you get the no start figured out.)
