Time it to the first DOUBLE notch with the engine OFF, as I said before. Regardless of the other comments you need to do nothing else, except maybe tweak it slightly, and I do mean slightly. As mentioned below, the 1st notch on some tractors is off by itself, away from the double notches; a timing light can be used on it, far as I know but I have never timed it to that mark. Your tractor may or may not have that mark. 1949 is about the time distributers became standard, yours may not have had one when new. If not my guess (presented without proof) is that yours does not have the extra notch. As you found out it will be WAY off if a light is used on the first of the double notches. If you did time it to the separate notch, I don't have an explantion. I do not know why some posters (not you) make a simple operation so darn complicated.
