I agree with Rustred. #1 is to the front of the engine. The spark plug wires go in the distributor (looking from the back toward the front of the tractor and thinking of a dial clock) #1 at the 1:30 position then at the 4:30 position #3 cylinder spark plug. Then #4 at the 7:30 position, then #2 at the 10:30 position. If this does not work, the next step is to assure the #1 cylinder is at TDC. Put your thumb in #1 plug hole. hand crank or use the fan to turn the engine till you feel compression pressure in the hole. Use a plastic straw to feel the top of the piston in the #1 cylinder. Continue turning the engine slowly by hand till the straw stops moving upward. That is very close to TDC. Look at the timing marks on the pulley and align them. Now the #1 plug wire should go in the location that the rotor points to. Jim.
