Help with my Ford 1500 compact tractor

Looking for some help with my Ford 1500 compact tractor. I bought it not running. The problem is it has a new injection pump, and the PO could not get it in time. I got the manual and have the procedure down for the timing, mostly. What I need to know is when the manual says turn the engine clockwise, is that looking at it from the seat, or is it looking at it from my stool in front of the tractor? Also if anyone could confirm that #1 is the cylinder closest to the radiator that would be helpful too. If it helps at all it is a Shibaura LET852C engine. Thanks in advance for any help
