460 Diesel, Pump Timed and Purring Loudly

Found that magic timing mark tonight and finally got the 460 running like a champ. Powers up real nice. Thanks for all of the help and excellent advice here from JakeF, Jimmy King, Bob, Aces, Brian in NE and others. I sanded the main pulley and found two lines on the damper about a half inch apart (no numbers or markings otherwise). On the first round, I timed it 180 degrees off. The second round, I hit the right spot and she took off with just using the starter, no pulling. Smokes and sounds really good. Harold was glad to hear her go; he bought the tractor new in the early 60s. He powered it up and listened real close. Have a few issues to work out with the voltage regulator, etc. Thanks again.
