Question on power and ignition advance on an F-20

Posted by Tom Fleming on July 29, 2008 at 19:19:43 from (72.255.125.82):

i am taking my F-20 to an antique tractor show and pull on Sat, then to the county fair Sunday. I have tuned her up as best I can, and wanted to understand how best to advance the timing while I am pulling. At full throttle, should I use full advance? Should i adjust the advance as the load increases? Should i keep adjusting the timing as the pull progresses to keep the engine in it's "sweet spot" from a sound perspective?

Also, this will be my first pull, and I have been watching carefully, as I certainly understand that a good pull is as much the operator as it is the tractor. I have seen lots of letter Farmalls pull, but not any of the F series.

i don't expect to place in the antique pulls, but would like to make a respectable showing.

Inquiring minds want to know. 8)
