SO much for the IT Manual! Get yourself a Ferguson Shop Manual. They are available as CD"s and also as hardcopies. I would also recommend a Parts Manual and the Owners Manual. the timing should be set at 6 oBTDC.
You"ll need to crank the engine over til #1 cylinder is on the compression stroke (Remove the spark plugs and hold your finger over the spark plug hole. When you feel pressure, you are on the compression stroke.). The look in the "window" under the starter and crank the engine by hand or bump the starter til you see the 6 oBTDC mark on the flywheel. Your distributor rotor should now be pointing at the #1 spark plug terminal in the cap. Loosed the distributor, put the distibutor back together and place a paper clip or a bent piece of wire in the #1 spark plug boot and hold it near a good ground. Turn on the key and rotate the distributor back and forth til you the spark snap. ou may have to do this a few time to get it right and when you feel you do, tighten down the distributor. An start up the machine. You are statcally tiimed. Adjust the ile sped to 400 rpm and check the timing and the advance with a timing light and that"s it.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract. ... [Read Article]
