Yes, and maybe that's how it wound up in the junk yard? Maybe some guy tried to fix it, got disgusted, and gave up - maybe even accused the problem on being a Deere 1010? 1010s and 2010s do get cursed about, a lot.
I've been running this thing for years like this. I've always timed it with a timing light hooked to #1 cylinder. So, I'm going to assume that some other cylinders were always out of time? Seems with the six-cylinder cam, there's no way all four cylinders can fire when they are supposed to. It did run and sound pretty good, but never really "purred" like my IH, Case, Ford, or Cletrac gas tractors. Never had much power either. So, I'm curious to see how it sounds today once I get this distributor back on.
This has to be maybe the 2nd stupidest problem (or thing I missed) in my life. That is, unless I include my first wacky wife that I married, when I was young, naive, and drank a lot of beer.
#1 was a Royal Enfield 500 cc twin Meteor Minor motorcycle that I rebuilt in 1965. It ran like crap for 30 years. Then, one day when I was "older and wiser", I pulled it all apart. Found out the cams were swapped. The intake cam was under the exhaust valves, and the exhaust cam was under the intake valves. Not the sort of thing you'd notice during a routine rebuild since the crankcase has to be split to access the cams.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
