Hello,
I have a 1953 case vac.
We were cutting some heavy brush, when the engine suddenly seized up. After troubleshooting, I noticed the distributor rotor was not turning, and the cam not moving. I removed the distributor, it turns by hand. I did not notice any "chewed up gears. I don"t think this engine has a timing chain, right? What would cause the camshaft not to turn? Right now, the dang thing is stuck WAY out in a field in the middle of no where.
