There is a subtle difference with these old tractors. Many tractors had manual advance retard mechanisms in that era and the driver was able to alter the timing and note the difference. This experience was great for knowing whether the engine timings were pretty close to the right mark. A scribe mark on the magneto was used as a datum for any timing changes.
Those old engines, although having a definite timing setting ran on an entirely different fuel than today's fuels. A modern high-speed engine is a different ball game altogether, as tolerances are much, much less.
