Wayne, I don't disagree. I quoted what the IH service manual said, it said the first notch, I did interpret that to mean the first of the double set. It did not mention the advanced notch. I have never used a timing light on a tractor, which as you say would be for the single stand-alone notch, perhaps that is what TV meant. Haven't looked at my H, Super H, and M that close, I am not sure they all have the single notch. I do adjust it by ear if the engine seems to be laboring. Set exactly to specs is not always correct. I just don't think you need a timing light on those tractors, if somewone wants to use one that's ok. The key is whether or not it detonates under load. Advance it too far and you get problems.
