Howdy
Just something to think about, the best tune up man I ever knew told me , when working on engines with lots of miles/hours on em, the timing marks are only used to get the timing close. Due to wear on timing gears/chains, dist gears/shafts, the timing is going to change at various engine speeds and loads. What he showed me and what I have always done is power time the engine. Get her running good as you can then take it out and run/work it, leave the dist just loose enough so you can turn it with the engine running, then you have to get off turn the dist one way or the other till it sounds the best, get back on the tractor work it some more and try again if not satisfied with performance. You may have to do this 3,4 or 5 times to get it where you want it but you make that decision not some mark put on by the factory 50 years ago. Works for me kinda like adjusting a carb.
