Farmall H woes

Posted by PA Steve on October 15, 2004 at 06:56:09 from (205.188.117.22):

I'm working on a Farmall H that has not run well for a long time. I think the problem is isolated to improper valve timing. My father and I determined that all valve openings and closings were advanced approximately 20 crankshaft degrees. Because of this, we thought that the camshaft gear must be incorrectly aligned to the crankshaft gear. When the timing cover was removed, we found the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears correctly matched.
Is it possible that the marks on the camshaft or crankshaft gears are incorrect? If so, what is the correct setting? The tractor is a 1942 model, serial # 101071 X3
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
