"it might be out of time which I have no idea how to do that"
Welcome to the YT forum.
There is also the John Deere forum on this website to ask questions concerning your Model 60 tractor.
Pure speculation on my part, but your Model 60 tractor probably has the same timing method as the Model 70 tractor.
Reviewed the OPERATOR'S MANUAL OM-R2035R JOHN DEERE TRACTOR MODEL 70 SERIES under the IGNITION SYSTEM section under the INSTALLING AND TIMING DISTRIBUTOR ON GASOLINE TRACTOR on pages 87 – 88.
“Installing the distributor after it has been removed from the tractor can be done easily as follows:
First, remove the spark plug on the flywheel side.
Place your finger over the hole and rotate the flywheel in the running direction until you feel pressure of air in the cylinder.
Continue turning the flywheel slowly until the “10° ATDC” mark, stamped on the flywheel rim, lines with the notches in the timing hole in the flywheel cover.
In this position the slot in the coupling on the governor shaft will be horizontal.
Turn the arm to a vertical position.
This places the coupling lugs of the distributor to line with the slot on the governor shaft and in correct firing position for No. 1 cylinder.
Mount distributor and gasket on governor case, making sure driving lugs engage slots on governor drive coupling.
A gasket must be used between distributor and governor case.
After tightening the cap screws firmly with fingers, connect battery ground strap, switch-to-distributor lead, and coil-to-distributor lead.
Rotate top of distributor approximately one inch toward front of tractor.
Install cover on distributor and insert a suitable wire in top terminal of cover.
Bend this wire to within 1/8-inch of some metal part of the tractor.
After making sure that the “10° ATDC” mark on the flywheel rim is still lined up with the notches on the timing hole in the flywheel cover turn on the ignition and slowly tap the top of the distributor toward the rear of the tractor until a spark is produced between the wire and a metallic part of the tractor.
Tighten cap screws holding distributor to governor case and install spark plug cables.
Left hand spark plug cable must be installed in upper distributor cap terminal.”

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
