OK - Thanks for the checklist. I will check these items. A dumb question (but that seems like all I have left! ;-0 #1 cylinder is the front cylinder, right?
The point about gearing between crankshaft and distributor concerns me a bit. The distributor rotor turns when the cap is off and I crank the starter motor, so it is geared at some setting, right? Also, I get repetitive spark at each plug when they are removed and starter is cranked, again telling me the electrical is all working on some cycle (maybe wrong timing, granted).
There was one thing I did different just prior to this event - starting the tractor with a hand crank. Just fishing here, but is is possible that starting the engine by turning it over from the crankshaft pulley somehow caused the distributor shaft gears to jump a notch or something odd? I know this would show up as a timing error, so I will check. Just trying to figure out why this suddenly occurred.
