Case A284 engine

I bought a old loader and someone pulled all the plug wires off. It s a 4 cylinder case engine A284. The firing order is on the block but where is number one on distributor? Also I keep reading that number one cylinder is the one by radiator and others say it s by the cab. If anybody has a old diagram of cylinders and plug wire locations for this old case W7 loader I have I would love a peek. I have the service manual and that s pretty vague as far as distributor goes. It s a 196? Tractor. That s all I have. Any help would be great at this point.
Thanks
 
On Case engines with few exceptions the front cylinder is the one at the fan end, also , if the distributor has never been taken out, number one tower on the distributor is the one pointing toward number one cylinder. When number one is at TDC on compression the rotor will point to number one piug. then the wire go 1-3-4-2 in a clockwise rotation, If the distributor was removed and not put back in properly you will have to find TDC by removing number 1 plug and turn over till you feel the compression on a finger held over the plug opening while the engine is slowly turned
