We can simplify things right off the bat, because unless someone did some clever machine work, that tractor never had a vacuum advance. It has mechanical advance only. At the very least, the carburetor needs to be completely disassembled, cleaned thoroughly, and a "carb kit" put in it. Carb kits are not that expensive; with today's gas prices, you'll spend as much on gas running the tractor and fiddling with it. Just get the carb kit and be done with it. Given the spark plug extenders, I'd dare say the engine is in serious need of rebuilding. With no parts budget, getting this tractor running well will be impossible. It saddens me to say this, but your friend might be better off parting the tractor out, and looking for something better. Keep the Hi-Lo and any other unique/desired features off this tractor, and put them on the next project.
