They did a real nice job of marking the flywheel on the RC for TDC and Fire, but the marks can not be seen once the engine is in the tractor.  You can just see where the marks are from the front with the cover off, so I marked the FIRE with gold up the front side of the flywheel and CENTER with blue. Here they are lit up by the timing light while the tractor is running and the pick-up on the number one plug wire:  |

| You might have to. You can see that a previous owner marked the fire line with a chisel from the front probably for the same purpose. |
