Farmall super c timing mark

farmallmitch · Jul 23, 2022

Hey all, I brought over a farmall super c and it ended up
needed a distributor. I took the distributor out of a running
farmall c because Im in a pinch. I know there is a mark on
the back of the flywheel but I dont have a dust cover on the
tractor. There is however, a pointer on the block for the
camshaft pulley. My question is

1: what does the timing mark on the camshaft pulley look
like.

2: how do I go about timing the tractor? I know I have to find
TDC of #1 cylinder by pulling the plug and watching it come
all the way to the top on the compression stroke. But what
are the steps to adding a new distributor onto the tractor?

Take the plug out of #1 cylinder, hand turn the engine until you feel compression against your finger held over the plug hole.

Continue turning until you see the timing mark align. If you don't see the mark, stop when you see the piston come all the way up. If you can't see the piston, you will feel the engine get easy to turn when the pistons are all at TDC and BDC.

Put the rotor on the distributor, sit the cap on, and look where the rotor needs to be to align with the #1 wire tower on the cap. Put the distributor in without turning it from that position.

That should get it close enough to get it cranked, may need to twist it a little until it starts, then fine tune it by a timing light or by ear. You can tell when it's right when it starts and runs well.
