Removing & re-installing distributer- Another method that works for me if the following conditions apply. 1- will be reinstalling the same distributer 2- no one will be turning the engine during the process. 3- timing is correct before starting repairs. If so, quick & dirty method. No need to locate timing marks, turn engine to TDC, etc. Remove cap, make matching scratch marks on rotor tip & dist body with a screwdriver tip or your pocket knife. Make similar matching marks at the timing adjustment. DO NOT TURN THE CRANKSHAFT! Remove dist & do whatever needs to be done. Put dist back in, lining up the new matching marks. If timing was correct before, when you put everything back where it was, it will be correct again. Lots of people shake their heads at my method. No hard feelings on my part. Old time mechanic at truck dealer taught me this. Sidebar: Also when replacing plug wires. Sit on radiator with feet on frame rails each side of engine. Grab the whole mess of old wires & throw on floor. No 1 wire goes in "this" spot on cap, no 8 is next to it, & so on around cap in firing order. Start it up, everything will be in time. Willie

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
