You need to remove No1 plug near the radiator and hold your thumb over the plug hole while someone hand cranks the engine until you feel pressure against your thumb. Once you feel that pressure keep your thumb over the hole and have someone keep cranking the engine slowly until the pressure stops. Your engine should now be at TDC on the compression stroke. and your timing marks should be aligned and both valves on that cylinder should be closed.

Once you're at TDC remove the distributor cap and see where your rotor is pointing. It should be at the No1 plug tower on your cap. If it is off a lot you need to remove the distributor and rotate the rotor so it points to No1.

If you didn't pull the distributor on this tractor since you've had it move the plug wires
on the cap and place No1 plug wire where the rotor is pointing, then going clockwise install
No3 on the cap and to No3 plug. Then install No4 plug wire to No4 plug and then No2.

Firing order on your cap should look like this:

2-1
4-3 As the rotor rotates CW. Hal
