Pull #1 (Front) spark plug. rotate the engine with a crank, or by bumping the starter, with your thumb on the spark plug hole (ignition off) when pressure pushes on your thumb, put a 7 inch piece of stiff copper wire wire in the hole and continue to turn it by hand only (fan blade or rolling the tractor in high gear forward) when the wire is as far up as it can go. that is TDC compression.
