You need to remove No1 sparkplug near the radiator
and bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke while someone cranks the engine until you feel compression against you thumb. Then drop a large handle screwdriver in the plug hole and watch the screwdriver rise while someone slowly cranks the engine. When the screwdriver quits rising your No1 piston should be at TDC. Both valves on that cylinder should be closed too.

Remove the cap and see where the rotor is pointing
if it isn't at the No1 plug tower you need to pull the mag or distributor and rotate the rotor
to the No1 plug tower and reinstall. Your rotor rotates CW and your plug wires should be in this firing order. Hal

2-1
4-3 Then see if tractor will start.
