Craig, you need to find top dead center on #1 cylinder. Remove the spark plug and have someone crank the engine while you hold your thumb over the hole. You will feel air being pushed out when it comes up on compression. There is a timing mark on the engine crank pully that correspons with a pointer on the engine, line these up. Set your mag with the rotor pointing near the #1 wire and mount it loosely on the tractor with the top of the mag as close to the tractor as you can. Now crank over one revolution until the pully mark is again on the pointer. Now slowly pull the top of mag away from the engine until you hear it trip the impulse. Tigthen it down and it should be timed. Remember these mags turn the opposite of IH gas engines so wires to the plugs will attach in a counter clock wise pattern. Good luck.
