I have an Oliver 1855 with MFD. I want to work out the correct calculations for the % lead/ lag.
Here are the numbers for mine
When one side of the tractor is raised with the mfd engaged: The driveshaft turns close to 29.50 times for 2 turns of the rear tire and 20 turns for 2 turns of the front tire (by the way the tag was wrong). I could be off slightly if slack between gear teeth can make a difference.
When the rear tire is turned once, the front tire turns 1.4706 times (once around plus 8 of 17 tire lugs). Or inversely 0.68 measured the other way.
Currently the front tires are BKT 14.9x25 with manufacturer RCI of 152.1 The rears are Goodyear 18.4x38 with a listed RCI of 207. These are the tire sizes suggested in the operators manual for this tractor. Unfortunately there were different ratios used and the manual does not specify which ratio their recommendations are for.
There seem to be different opinions on how to calculate the lead. By what I read the desired lead is 2 to 6%. To me it seems higher here. I have posted before but never really got a complete answer. Some good replies on this would be so helpful. It would also be nice to hear more comments from guys familiar with these tractors as well.

In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders. Under loaded conditions the tractor seems to lack power and it belches black smoke out of the exhaust. For some reason it just doesn't want to start up without cranking and cranking the starter. All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
