Why is the ground bad you ask?
The coil was bad at the start of the rebuild so I used a known good one and it’s been running on that. However, its diameter is marginally bigger and the clamp won’t collapse enough to to get both bolts through the coil bracket. Between new paint on the engine, sketchy bracket mount it’s just not getting consistent ground I think.
Which brings me to this. I’d like to keep this coil as backup and buy a new one for this tractor. How do I make sure to get one that works with my bracket?
Thanks in advance

...I would do the obvious - check what the advertisers on this web forum have. That failing, then in my area (NY Finger Lakes) I would take the old coil to my local NAPA franchisee and ask to match it up. The Cub Cadet parts to an extent were straight out of the IH pats bins and many match to other automotive, industrial or agricultural parts. Another convenient match? Might well have that coil on the shelf at a "suburban farm" supply store near you (Tractor Supply and such)

Watch the postage.
But yes I would check the advertisers on this site first.
