i have a to30 i am getting brass shavings in my distributor cap. i have quite a bit of side play and end play in the i am going to call it the stem which is under the cap. should there be any play. it is causing my tractor to run a little rough until i replace the cap. does this mean the distributor needs replaced if so where can i get a used one or can i get a repair kit for it

The Philbin Group in Portland, OR will rebuild your distributor for $100 + shipping. I had a severely worn bushing and shaft on my TO-30/Delco distributor and it ran like a three legged dog. I saved enough on the rebuild to but a Pertronix ignaition and my TO-30 starts in a quarter turn, idles smoothly, and runs like a champ. Get a hold of Mark Nikolay at [email protected] or look at the website at www.philbin.com. hope this helps.

There should be no play, if there is it will alter the contact breaker gap as it is running and that would cause your engine to run rough.When you have repaired it though make sure you occasionally put a drop of oil in the centre of the distributor shaft to lube this bearing. The original Service Manual used to say leave the bushes standing in oil overnight before you fit them.

My M-F dealer could not obtain the bushings for my TO 20 Delo Remy dist. so I purchased bushings from Motion Ind.(bearing supply house) that were correct OD and needed reaming on the inside to fit shaft. Part # of bushings were CB0711-12 and cost $4.50 USD + the reaming was extra. As far as I know the Prestolite was used after market only on the Fergys with Delco Remy being standard on the TO's.
