Mag Timing for Farmall H

Posted by DStein on December 03, 2003 at 11:06:17 from (192.249.47.9):

Was over to see the folks this past weekend, and helped my father with his Farmall H. He took the engine apart for rebuilding and had it all back together, but it would not start.

His first problem was no spark from the mag as he had connected the battery to the mag kill post and burnt the points (thinking a mag was similar to a distributor/coil system) - install new points and rewire switch to connect to ground to kill the mag (I own two old model L gravely walk behinds with mag's, so I understand the mag system). The mag will now produce a spark.

He did have the mag housing off the tractor for repainting and when he went to re-install it, he was looking for timing marks on the gears - there were none, and his manual is not much help as it is based on the fact that the mag was not removed from the engine. Now he needs information/diagrams on setting the timing of the mag to the #1 cylinder. If any one has information or diagrams they can send me, I will forward them to him.
