Do you have power to the positive side of the coil with the switch in the run position?

And not to be capt obvious ,, bit did you check the fuse ?

    If you tell us what model 1975  you have we can post the correct wiring diagram to help you figure it out.

 There is no fuse.  As mentioned are you getting 12 volts at the + coil terminal with the switch in run?  If not make sure PTO is totally disengaged. Also check your new ignition switch...did it have an "I" terminal.  (You may have been given wrong switch which has an "M" terminal for magneto ignitions)

Is your ignition coil the old style round ignition coil or is it the smaller sort of triangular type that is typical of magneto ignitions? The wire going to your ignition coil on the magneto type ignition will have no voltage on it at any time. It will be grounded when the ignition switch is off or when you are not in the seat with the PTO on. Like @pfrederi said, check the terminals on the new switch against the old switch, make sure they are the same. If you have a magneto ignition and have had 12 volts to it you may have harmed it.
