Farmall 450 Gas timing question.

Hello,

I just recently had some issues with my tractor, started backfiring and stuff, in an older post a few days ago. Looks like replacing the condenser and cleaning the fuel filter did the trick, or so I thought... I haven't really put it under any type of load, like baling my pasture to make 100% sure.

I decided to put a timing light on it. Had it hooked up to the front spark plug, closest to the radiator. I can see the notch on the pully pretty near the little pointer on the engine, but... the notch moves around. Probably about 1/2 inch or so.

Is this the cam that could be broken that goes to the distributor(also from one suggestion from my other post)? Or is this normal? Like I said, it seems to run pretty smooth now, I just didn't drive it too much yet, maybe 15min...

Thanks

Tony
