The mark is hard to find. You can take off the valve cover to see when #1 is on compression and with spark plug removed you can look in the hole to see when the piston is at the top. Your rotor on the mag should point to the 2 oclock position then. It fores on TDC then goes to 32deg advance when engine runs. There is no advancing of the timing by turning the mag.Are you sure the gear that turns the mag wasnt removed or you could be way out of time. You could remove all the plugs and with the cap off the mag observe when the rotor snaps to make sure every thing is ok. When working on a new to me tractor i will remove the plugs so the engine turns over easy and hook up the spark plug wire to a plug and with my finger in the hole can watch the fire when i feel compression.
