Pull #1 (Front) spark plug. rotate the engine with a crank, or by bumping the starter, with your thumb on the spark plug hole (ignition off) when pressure pushes on your thumb, put a 7 inch piece of stiff copper wire wire in the hole and continue to turn it by hand only (fan blade or rolling the tractor in high gear forward) when the wire is as far up as it can go. that is TDC compression. Under the tractor there is a hole into the flywheel timing mark will be at the hole (cleaning and good light are needed, it is a marginal mark) this is to be aligned with the mark on the housing. Now (after setting the points to .020" if distributor or .013" if mag) set the timing to break the points at that TDC location. Loosen the distributor, and rotate it CW from the rear. Put a test light on the distributor connection, and turn the distributor CCW until the light just comes on. Lock it down and that is it. Jim
