Left hand threads are the update.

Worked on a SMTA about 10 years ago for a neighbor. He told me the problem was Ignition. Spent a hour trying to chase ignition fault. Tractor had spark. Finally listening to the funny way the engine was cranking I lifted the rocker cover. Hit the starter switch and nothing moved.

Wound up the cam had broken just behind the gear. The gear was held in the cover tight enough to run the distributer. Talked with a old time IH mechnic he told me that when IH put live hydraulic pumps on they started to have problems with the cam nut working loose. With time the gear would hammer on the shaft and break it off. LH nut cured the problem thus that is all IH offers now.
