I don"t know that particular tractor so can"t tell you where the timing mark would be. If not on the vibration damper, it is porbably on the flywheel. Remove the number one sparkplug and bring the engine up to TDC on the compression stroke. You will have to find the timing mark to find TDC. After you have determined TDC, turn the distributor so that the rotor is pointing toward the number one tower position on the cap, then turn it until the points are just starting to open. That should get you close enough to get the engine running for proper timing. I can"t help you with the correct point gap either. I expect someone on the Minneapolis Moline board could tell you the correct setting. When I don"t know the correct gap, I set the points to the approximate thickness of a well worn dime. That is generally close enough to get an engine running.

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
