Hi guys, I posted a message earlier today about the fan hub on my A. A couple guys responded (thanks) but I still have some questions. The fan hub had oil in it when I disassembled it, and the hub turns easily on the shaft without any play, so there is no excessive wear on the shaft or hub. When I look into the hub (the piece that has the pulleys on it), there is a cone shaped piece of sheet metal that tapers down to the opening where the shaft comes out of the back of the hub. Inside this cone shaped piece looks (and feels) like small bits of cork?, but there is no seal of any kind. Was there some sort of cork gasket / seal in this cone shaped piece? Also, on the shaft is 3 grooves machined into the shaft. (I'm sure they are not wear marks, as they are too consistant with each other and no other parts around this area to cause the wear). Are these grooves part of the old seal? If so, can someone describe how these grooves fit the old seal? I dont want to buy the newer style hub (with sealed bearings) if I dont have to yet. This one is nice and tight without any play, its just that oil comes out if I put too much in, which gets us back to my first message today......how much oil goes in the hub, and if I knew what the original seal (if any) looked like I may try to replace that type of seal (or come up with something on my own, such as silicone on the outside to keep the dirt out or leather, etc, on the inside?) Any other thoughts? Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
