The firing order is 1243, #1 being at the front of the tractor. Your father-in-law is correct about backfire, and it is most likely what you were hearing with the timing 180 degrees out on the distributor.

Backfire is firing through the carburetor. This happens when the ignition fires on the top of the exhaust stroke, begining of the intake.

Afterfire is firing through the exhaust. Can be caused by the above, as well a fouled plug allowing ignitable mixture into the exhaust system. Frequently called backfire, but that really is the incorrect term.
