I posted a previous question regarding some questions when performing an extensive tune-up of an IH 504 and received some good advice that was greatly appreciated. I'm about midway through this and I have another couple of questions which I wonder if someone could please help me out with. I've changed points and condensers before on other vehicles and haven't had much trouble. However, never before have I needed to pull the distributor out of its housing. I did it this time to facilitate changing the points and condensers, as I thought it would be easier due to the tight space around the distributor. However, I realize now that I did a couple of stupid things, which I have attributed to beginner ignorance and too much enthusiasm to jump into the job, that will cause me headaches to finish the task. Basically, when I pulled the distributor cap off, I marked the distributor and housing to keep that alignment straight. I also put a chalk mark on the housing to mark rotor position. One of my mistakes was that I didn't rotate the motor (and rotor) to align cylinder 1 at TDC. Also, in pulling the distributor out I have made my rotor chalk line nearly illegible, so I'm concerned about putting the distributor back in the housing misaligned a couple of teeth on the distributor gears. On top of this, the rubbing block on the new breaker is rotated 180 degrees from the block on the old breaker, thereby engaging the points at a different time than the previous breaker. Add this all up and I think I have just caused myself some serious timing issues. Could anyone please shed some light on how I could get resolve this? Thanks a million, Chad

Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
