LOL! Yep, maintainin' the paint on that mark is more important than keepin' paint on the tractor!
One thing we left out of settin it up to TDC by hand was the wire or screwdriver. I can't remember for sure, but it was you or gene bender that put me onto that -- using a piece of solid wire or a screwdriver to rest on top of the piston so that the part that sticks out moves like the dial on a gauge makes it a lot easier to detect the small movement at the top of the piston's range.
On my BN (with a mag) I keep her timed to the mark on the flywheel. On the SuperC, though I set it up originally to the mark, I did just what you describe, and touched it up by ear while running and made some stop-and-go adjustments after running her under a load. When I checked it with a light afterward it was advanced a little BTDC, enough that I don't quite dare to start her with a crank. I don't have any PTO or belt-driven equipment that I could actually time her under a load while sitting still. A friend runs a small tractor show and a fellow brings a hay press most years. I'd like to get belted up to that one year and play with the timing and see where I wind up.
