Sam, This is basically the same method as Jims (which I actually prefer) but if you dont have a DC test lamp handy: Remove the coil wire from top of distributor cap (leave coil end intact) and place its metal/brass contact end within a 1/4 gap from tractor iron,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,loosen and retard the distributor timing as far retarted/slow as it will turn,,,,,,,,,get the No 1 piston to TDC on its Compression Power (NOT exhaust) Stroke i.e. TDC timing mark,,,,,,,,,,,,have points adjusted to proper high cam clearance,,,,,,,,,turn on the ignition,,,,,,slowlyyyyyyyyy turn the distributor advanced/faster just until the coil wire fires a spark across that gap and STOP,,,,,,,,the initial start timing ought to be close enough.
