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. I cant remember if the distributor turns at cranksfaft speed of half crankshaft speed on these engines, Anyway, remove the valve cover and confirm both rocker arms on number one cylinder are loose. If a valve is open rotate the engine 360 degrees. Now install the distributor with the rotor pointing to number one cylinder. The distributor cap will either have a notch or lug indicating number 1 cylinder. Install the distributor and install the spark plug wires. The firing order is different on this engine than most 4 cylinder engines, if I remember correctly it is 1243, it is cast into the housing the distributor bolts to. This should fix you up. If the engine backfires while trying to start something is wrong, retrace your steps.
