D15 wires to plugs form dis. How?

I got plug wires all mixed up can anyone help show witch goes to witch

Firing order is 1,2,4,3 so get the #1 cylinder at TDC and pull the distributor cap off and mark where the #1 then set the cap back on. Also note which way the rotor turns. Then just hook the wires up in the firing order

Yep, old's right, that's the only way to be sure the wires are correct.

It left the factory with the wires in a certain arrangement, but if the distributor has ever been removed, it could have been put back in with the rotor pointing a different way (likely), and the #1 wire could be at any of the other three "nipples", with the other wires arranged in firing order after it.

What old said but be sure it's TDC on the compression stroke.

How can I find # 1 tdc

When learning out how to time an engine with a distributor you need to get the number one cylinder at top dead center on the compression stroke. To be on the compression stroke both valves on the cylinder needs to be closed. Compression can not be built with one of the valves open. To keep from guessing you can remove the valve cover and make sure both rocker arms are up and has clearance between the rocker arm pad and the end of the valve stem. Check at this point for the TDC or CENTER line is in the inspection hole.

If you have a vertical distributor the number one wire terminal should be next to the engine block toward the radiator. The number two wire terminal will be toward the radiator away from the block. The number four plug wire will be away from the block toward the rear of the tractor. The number three plug wire will be toward the rear of the tractor close to the block.

When it is in this position remove the distributor cap. Loosen the hold down clamp from the base of the distributor with the rotor pointed toward number plug wire terminal and rotate the distributor back and fourth making sure the points are closed and just ready to open. I do this with the switch on so I can watch it spark when the points open. If the rotor does not point to the number one terminal the distributor will need to be lifted out and replace so the rotor does point to number one terminal. Remember the distributor gear is spiral and as you replace the distributor the rotor will rotate and you might need to lift it out to engage the correct gear teeth.
The tractor is now in time.

In doing this way you have proved that you are on the compression stroke at top dead center without guessing. You have also proved that it is ready to fire at top dead center without guessing.

In addition to the above timing to number one cylinder the engine can be correctly timed anytime the TDC or CENTER line is in the inspection hole by removing the valve cover and checking which cylinder has both rocker arms up with clearance. Then making sure the points are about to open with the rotor pointing to that cylinder plug wire terminal.

In addition to that if you do not know the firing order you can find it in the same manor. Rotate the engine is at number one and marking it as 1. Make one revolution and mark the two rocker arms that are up with clearance will be 2. The next revolution with the rocker arms are up with clearance will be 3. The next one will be number 4. Watching this engine this way you would find your firing order for this engine would be 1-2-4-3.

Remembering that every time the TDC is in the inspection hole one of the pistons is up and ready to fire on this engine.

This is the 83-year-old man again I can?t read nothing on the fly wheel through that little hole can I time this thing some other way I got the wires all screwed up on the distributor? ??-also got another question what controls the hydraulic outlet off the back thank ?
Any have a video on eather question? Please help thank you kindly jack

Remove the plugs. Put your thumb over the front plug hole. Have someone rotate the engine until air is pushing on your thumb. Thats the compression stroke for #1. Get to top dead center and you are there.

This is the 83 year old dummy you get that way you know,! Well I got the firing order straight and it starts thank y?all kindly.

but I have another question I don?t remember how to control the hydraulic valves
1in the back can somebody give me some help this is A D 15 thank you
By the way we are going to get 6 ? of snow tonite I live in galesville wi.
Some corn is already planted not up yet.
By the way I talk my questions in other wise you would never never read it.

Jack

If it's the same as my D17, the back lever is up/down and the front one is the traction booster.
AaronSEIA

Does the back lever control the hyd. Outlets after the
3 point is all the way up?
Jack

Yes. It will lift whichever is the lighter load first.
AaronSEIA

I want to thank you all for the information you gave me and much appreciated it .
