ffolkes,
Remove your flywheel access cover under the tractor. There is a line scribed on the flywheel that needs to be in line with the cast pointer on the cover. When you find it, mark it with a white marker. Remove your #1 sparkplug. Have someone hand crank the motor until compression stroke is felt at the plug. Turn motor until TDC line is at the proper place on flywheel. Insert magneto so that your rotor points to your #1 plug wire. Have your magneto loose enough so that you can turn it by hand. Have your magneto turned ccw were the coil cover is close to the engine block. Have someone hand crank motor through this cycle again and come up slowly on your TDC line on flywheel. When that lines up, slowly turn your magneto cw towards you until impulse coupling clicks, then tighten magneto in place. Hope this helps.
