oc3 wrong firing order

Hello, I have question about a mistake I made while installing the plug wires on my oc3 restoration, I accidentally installed the plug wires with no. 1 at the top
left of the mag. instead of the top right, my concern is that I do not have the electric start hooked up as of yet and I pull started it for roughly 20 feet before it
dawned on me, it never popped or started but it pulled hard with my 2n pulling it for that time, has anyone ever seen any kind of damage done from this from
like a pre-ignition stand point or similar, I corrected the firing order and it starts right up and sounds good but I'm just concerned, if I'm over thinking this feel free
to tell me lol, just wanted another opinion for piece of mind
 
No issue at all. Especially if no backfire or starting happened. Usually no problem even if it did pop. Jim
 
It was in my mind a good thing. Not sure how much you tried pull starting, but much at all would help get the oil pump priming up the system so it had oil pressure quicker when it actually started after fixing the plug wires. As far as pulling hard I'm pretty sure this is a crawler. The lower gear ratio in something like that would make it pull start hard and the tracs would not slide as easy as they would on a wheeled tractor.
