Farmall Super C Timing

Posted by Barry Huff on August 09, 2005 at 09:58:13 from (64.108.35.3):

Hello, Hoping someone can help me with a question. I have a 1954 Farmall Super C that I want to check and set the timing. I have the original manual and the picture is not very clear. I have found the DC 14 line on the front of the Flywheel. That took a while. But my question is what do you line this DC 14 up with. The picture in the book is terrible. I have the hand hole cover on the bottom of the Bell Housing removed and assume that you shine the timing light through the bottom Bell Housing. On the front (Engine) side of the bell housing there is a half round sheet metal cover that is bolted in place. There are three stamped marks in this cover. One that is in the middle and straight down and then one on each side of it at about 60 degrees. Does anyone know what pointer to line the DC 14 mark on the flywheel up with ??? Also once I find the mark at what speed should I be running (1/4 or half or more throttle) to time it properly. Should the tractor be warmed up for a good period of time first. Thanks for any help
