The fact that your points are on the flat side of the cam while the rotor is pointing at #1 terminal means you are way out of time.

Delane, follow the proceedure I gave you to time the tractor to the #1 spark plug. Don"t worry about what the points are doing except to have the point gap set at 0.022". Get the engine so that the #1 cylinder is on the compression stroke and then rotate by hand to get the engine so that the timing mark is set to 6oBTDC while it is on that same compression stroke.

Now look at the distributor rotor and it should be pointing NEAR the #1 plug wire terminal in the distributor cap. (It just has to be near.It doen"t have to be right on the #1 plug terminal because you"ll take care of that when you rotate the whole distributor to set the timing.) It it isn"t rotate the distributor til it is NEAR the #1 terminal. Pull the #1 plug wire and put a paper clip or a bent wire in it,hold it near a good ground loosen the distributor hold down bolt and turn on the ignition switch. Rotate the distributor til you hear the spark snap and when you are sure you have the timing point, bolt it down. Don"t worry about what the points are doing "cuz when they opened the spark snapped and since you had the engine at 6oBTDC on the compression stroke, you are automatically timed.
