I can sympathize. That mark can be the very devil to find. And using a screwdriver, and/or wire and the eyeball works if you've got the experience under your belt.

That last little bit of getting it lined up, assuming you can find the mark, isn't so bad if you use the fan to move the engine.

Another trick is, once you've found TDC, to mark the front of the timing cover and the back of the crank pulley each with marks that line up at TDC. Lines with markers, paint dots, scratches in the paint, anything that will show you when she's at TDC, and all you have to do is make sure that you're on compression on #1 to use the marks and the fan blades to turn her into place.

I've made a habit (it's a lot easier if you have the tractor split and remember to do it - that last part about remembering is the tricky part) of cleaning up that mark and masking it off and painting it with a colot I can see when looking up into the dark.
