Fifth gear is a 18mph road gear it does not pull a disk. If the tractor is running all adjustments can be made (a good thing) If the gasoline in it has been in it a long time (a year) fresh gasoline is needed before any adjustments are made. Timing is important and so is the centrifugal advance. The rotor should turn just a few degrees then spring back to where it was. if it does not spring, or stays turned (just 10 degrees or so) the centrifugal advance is probably toast, and it will not run correctly. It is important to static time the engine to TDC. Assuming a distributor, not a mag ignition, the points are set at .020" when the rubbing block has them as open as it can. (hand turn the engine to the high point on the 4 lobe distributor cam) Once the gap is correct, put the #1 (front) piston at TDC on the compression stroke, This should be the exact position that the breaker points just begin to open with the rotor pointing to #1. With the ignition on, the distributor should be turned till a light or volt meter shows voltage at the side terminal of the distributor. Go back and forth to find this exact location, the light or meter should flicker as the points just open. Tighten the distributor. Turn off the ignition. The load screw on the bottom front of the carb adjusts the flow of fuel under load. it is adjusted to allow clean acceleration from idle to full speed with no hesitation, but no black smoke. For full load running it can be out a little more. A timing light is needed to check the centrifugal advance at speed. Check the manual to assess the correct full advance timing. Jim

Today's Featured Article - The Cletrac General GG and the BF Avery A - A Bit of History - by Mike Ballash.

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
