I'm just guessing here, but you could try it both ways...BobG in VA

Rotate engine with number 1 on compression stroke. Stop.with fire on flywheel centered in window. Install distributor with rotor pointing to number 1 lug in cap. Adjustment slot for bolt should be centered. Install bolt finger tight, rotate distributor till points just open. You could hook an ohm meter across points and rotate distributor till ohm meter shows no electrical flow across points and tighten distributor bolt. Install cap and it should fire and purr like a kitten.
Good luck

This is good to know when I finally find a tractor. I will probobly end up up with one that needs some TLC so this info may come in handy. These kinds of tips can save a lot of frustration.
