There are only 3 other positions that the mag can be in. Remove the 2 bolts and pull the mag out to where you can roll it over one step at a time. If it is hot it should fire within the next three settiings.

If the mag has been checked, and works, then why is changing over to battery ignition even a consideration?

Just get everything put back together correctly, and the tractor will start. There's no magic to it. Air, fuel, and fire at the right time, and BANG! off she goes.

Is spark getting to the plugs? If you have spark from the mag to the distributor cap & none to the plugs, check for problems in the distributor cap, rotor , & don't overlook the carbon contact & spring in the center of the inside of the cap. Otherwise, check that the rotor is "pointing at" the proper sparkplug terminal in the dist, cap when that sparkplug is about to fire.

If you think the mag is 180 just switch the plug wire on the cap 180 and if it is it will run. JON

If you've had the mag off its possible its 180 degrees off. To find out, remove the spark plugs and put you finger in the hold to plug it. As you turn the engine over by hand when the piston comes up on the compression stroke it will blow past your finger. Shine a flash light into the cylinder and watch for the pistion to reach the full stroke. At that point remove the cap on the mag and see if the roter is ready to point to number one spark plug wire. If its pointing to #3 your off 180 degrees. If the mag is attached OK connect it to a spark plug and see if you have spark. It may just need a new set of points and condenser.

So does the mag work, or has it been bypassed.

If it does work, go with "Charlie M's" advise then.
