There is probably a switch in the reverse lever that shuts of the mower. It is probably a normally open switch so when you pull the lever to reverse it pushes the switch closed killing the engine. If you unplug the switch or cut the wires going to it, it would never think it is in reverse and you could always mow.

If, by coil, you are referring to the ignition armature and since you didn't specify what brand of engine you have I will give you instructions for Briggs: ((The instructions are similar with MOST engines with a few variances.))
Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug, remove the blower housing from the top of the engine (That is the half round/half square metal cover on top of your engine, this will give you access to the ignition armature:

Ask your Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer or consult our Engine Check Chartfor the proper gap for your engine. Common armature gap ranges are .006- .010" and .010 - .014". Armatures are often packaged with a shim toassist in setting the gap. Microfiche or index cards of the properthickness also work well.

The diagram search begins HERE.
In the center of that page, click on "LAUNCH ILLUSTRATED PARTS LOOKUP TOOL"
A new window opens and you will notice three (3) Tabs at the top-left of that page (Model, Parts and Product Line). Select the tab labeled "Model".
You will notice a Drop-down menu labled "Select Brand". Open it and choose "MTD" if needed.
Below that is "Model Search Criteria". Click the button to choose "Contains". In the box labeled "Model Name/Number" type in your model number.
**SPECIAL NOTE** Your TRUE model number is 13ao772g055 the fourth digit is the letter "o" and NOT the number zero, however, the ninth digit is the number zero.
Next, click the "Search" button and observe the findings on the right side of the page under "Details". Click open the folder labeled "Illustrated Parts Lists" and locate the page "Deck, 42 inch". Open that and you will have your Diagram and part numbers in printable format.
