Who makes offset keys for cams?

Anonymous-0 · Mar 25, 2013

Summit and Jegs sell some but for tractors the may be too small. several engine builders grind them as the need them.

.005" is equal to 1 degree on the farmall.I have some already cut , will check to see what I have.

Bosch has some common sizes in stock. They are meant for pump timing on a diesel, but sometimes they fit a tractor cam.

Other than that buy a thicker key than what you need from McMaster Carr and then have it milled to your specs. Trigonometry formulas can be found all over the web.

Good Luck!

I only had 2 left. One was .005 and the other was .003. I don't think either will help. The .005 will only get 1 degree.
