With the flywheel on the tractor, put the clutch disc in and then put the pressure plate on with new bolts (assuming your old bolts are holding the pressure plate compressed) then disengage the pressure plate compression bolts just enough to put some friction on the disc. Get straight behind the clutch and line it up using one eye dead center on the centerline of the crank. Use a bright light. When you have everything concentric, remove the compression bolts and tighten the pressure plate.

My experience is that this method, if you are careful, and it is not too hard, will get you closer than a lineup tool because the lineup tools have enough slop you can see it in the "lined up" clutch.

I've done this on cars, trucks, and tractors and have NEVER had to loosen a pressure plate to realign it. Since I started doing this in the '60's I hae never used a lineup tool even when it is available.
