Put what I'm about to describe together with what CNKS described up above.
You need to get the motor in top dead center on the compression stroke of the #1 cylinder. This is easiest done if you have a hand crank for the tractor. If not, you can bump the starter to get close and finish up by turning the fan to bring it up. Most easily accomplished with the polugs out to eliminate the compression resistance to turning. With your finger stuck into the plug hole on # 1, you will feel it trying to push air out past. Keep turning until you can see, with a light through the plug hole that the cylinder is at the top. YOu can also fashion a piece of wire and in such a shape that when you stick it intot he plug hole to rest on top of the piston, you can observe it move down as the piston moves up and vice versa. Ans there's always the timing mark on the flywheel if you can find it. The point is to get the inwards of the motor set up to TDC on #1, then set up the mag as CNKS dscribes.
THa's not exactly by the book and there's other nuances to it and getting it dead on , but that should get you running in the absence of other problems.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
