Oil pump broke a couple weeks ago, twisted and
sheared the hex drive, and the distributor was
teamed out. Previous owner most likely never liked
it anyways so I went ahead and ordered a new
distributor. Got the new oil pump in yesterday, and
started the distributor replacement this evening.
According to my I & T manual, the advance timing
mark should be 26 degrees (tractor serial number
indicates it is a early to mid 1955). It states that
1958 and newer tractors should be set at 24
degrees.
Upon turning the flywheel to the compression stroke
and identifying the timing marks, there is a yellow
mark at 24 degrees. Has anyone else ran into this
before?
Just FYI this tractor was recently purchased by my
father in law and I have no idea the history of this
machine.
Thanks!
