In order to adjust the valves you need to set the pistons to TDC. In order to do that you need to turn the crankshaft.

How do you guys turn the crankshaft without having to first remove the radiator?

Thanks, Al

The easy way is to remove the plugs,hook up a remote swith to the starter to turn the engine over (these are available at napa or any parts store).Put your finger over the sparkplug hole your wanting on TDC.Crank the engine over,when it
reaches tdc it will blow your finger off the hole with compression.When it does this your on tdc.Then you might have to move the flywheel an inch or two to get time flywheel timing mark to line up.You can usually turn the fan to get it exact.

I probably misread your post but it seems to me that you are taking each piston to tdc and then setting the valves for that cyl.

I don't know about that 4 cyl but on every motor I worked on you could set half the valves on one position and half on the other.

Hmm ... when I look into the timing inspection hole I see a smooth flywheel.

With a 1010 gas engine, it turns so easy with the plugs out, you don't need to grab ring-gear teeth. You can just wedge a screwdriver against the flywheel face. But, a bent screwdriver can be worked in further. If you're really having trouble, just take the starter out - or - just use the starter itself to bump the engine around. With the plugs out, it will stop, more-or-less, where you want it to. As I said, it should turn over easy, unless there is something wrong with it.

I'm not real familiar with that tractor, but look back on the clutch housing and see if there's a plate that can be removed to get to the flywheel ring gear, or for a hole where an engine rotation tool can be used.

With a gas engine, if the spark plugs are out, you can usually turn it over by hand with the belt if it's tight. Also, you can stick a screwdriver into the timing inspection hole and turn the flywheel by prying on the ring-gear teeth. You can also do the same through the starter motor hole if it's out. On later engines, Deere sold a little flywheel turning tool that goes into the timing-inspection hole.
