I thank everybody for their help. The tractor (Farmall Super C) originally had a regular coil type ignition on it and I could always time it without any problems. And I also have a Farmall M that originally had this magneto on it, which I could time properly. But the magneto coil burned out, and I had to move the Farmall M to a new place we were moving to, so I borrowed the electric ignition off the Super C and put it on the M and it runs good. Later, in order to get the Super C running again, I replaced the coil in the magneto and mounted it on the Super C. And left it there because then, if the battery went dead, I could crank start that, but I could never crank start the M. After mounting the magneto on ths Super C, it always was slightly out of time, and I had checked the timing marks in the gears in the magneto. So, I have come to the conclusion from this discussion that the drive gears in the governor are probably off one tooth. And always have been from the factory. So, I will have to look at taking the cover off the governor and see what I can do. Is it a long and tough job and do I need various seals and gaskets to do this? Or do I need to be a professional mechanic?

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
