Is this a SPECIAL engine, built to run BACKWARDS, especially for the baler????? ?

OTHERWISE, it turns CCW looking at the flywheel, CW looking at the "front" crankshaft pulley, like almost ALL common tractor, automotive, and industrial engines!

HOW do you get the idea it runs BACKWARDS from ALMOST ALL standard engines (except for twin engine boats, and a few other WEIRD applications)?

Thanks for the vote of confidence Bob. I hooked up my starter with jumper cables just to convince myself that I am turning it properly and sure enough, the starter would engage the flywheel and turn it the same way. I'm convincing myself and (you are helping) that I need to get a different cam. You confuse me a little. Standing at the rear of the engine I need to turn it to the right in order to make the valve sequence properly. To me this is CW Turning it the other way (to the left) makes all the lifter sequences wrong. ie: ex first and then intake. Just so you know I know, the valves are set up (E-I-I-E-E-I-I-E). Looking at the distributor from the top, it turns CCW. Looking at the engine from the front it would be CCW. This is bassackwards from my Ford 961 diesel 172 CID tractor.

It is still "B". That's the way I have to turn it to achieve any kind of firing order and that is the direction that my starter would turn it if it were attached. I know of a guy who has a baler like this. I'll pay him a visit and look at it.

WOW...

That's interesting.... Is it POSSIBLE they made a reverse-rotation engine just for that baler?

And when you OH'd the engine, the supplier gave you a cam for a standard-rotation engine????

It will be INTERESTING to see how this plays out!

PLEASE post a new thread, so it is at the "top" when you figure out which way your friend's engine runs, and what is REALLY going on!
