timing TO-35

mrjrwj1 · Mar 3, 2018

I just bought a 1955 TO35 and the timing is off. I have the number one piston in compression stroke but when I look in the
bell housing inspection hole you can't see the timing marks at all due to awkward position. The steering linkage arms are in
the way. Do I need an optical bore scope to look in that hole? Help, what is secret to see timing marks so that it can be set
to six degrees BTDC? I also posted this query on the Ferguson forum page.

Tip the front axle up/down as needed to see better in the timing hole. You should be able to see the lines on the flywheel and block pointer then with a good bright timing light. That's how I used to see them anyway..

You could remove the starter then spray paint the flywheel then wipe off leaving the marks colored.

Find the correct marks and line them up on the flywheel. Then take a paint pen and put a mark on the pulley so that it lines up with something easy to see. Use your timing light on the paint mark.
