There should be a plate on the bottom of the tractor held on by two capscrews. When you remove it you will be able to see the flywheel. Have someone slowly rotate the engine until you see (may have to use a light) the TDC mark.

If the engine backfires while trying to start something is wrong, retrace your steps.
