Thanks a lot. I will try again with thicker line.

Ok, first attempt after attending timing 101. I think I did 2 things wrong. I used a toothpick and put a very fine paint mark on the scribed line for 8 degrees. The tractor would not idle below 550 or 600 rpm without dying. Probably need to adjust something on carb(or rebuild). For a first...

I think I got that part right but I will tweak if necessary. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, thanks.

Thank you for your response. I knew everything you mentioned except for marking with white or yellow paint. That is what I tried to specifically ask but you were the one one to mention that part. Thanks.

8 BTC rings a bell. I see the marks and I have seen them on my flywheel but I still don't quite understand how the one at 8 BTC is highlighted by the timing light. Thanks.

Thanks for all the suggestions for my gear shifting problems. This question concerns the use of a timing light. This may sound dumb but are the marks for timing that show up on a timing light already on an old tractor? I have a basic understanding of how it works but need to know if I put the...

Thank you, that is what I do.

ok, thanks

What if the slide rail was loosened from that thing it connects to and pushed toward the front of the tractor? Would that allow it to be tapped up from underneath?

The ball is not shiny, but it does not look pitted either, It looks very dull as opposed to shiny.

Ok, thank you.

Thanks for responding. This was taken before I cleaned the shaft with gas and changed the fluid the first time a month or 2 ago. I have changed the fluid again since then and also cleaned the detent ball spring. I was unable to get the detent ball out of the hole. How do you do that? I tried...

Thank you.

I thought I would post some pics just in case anything jumps out at anyone. I said I thought the ends of the shifter were not worn but I saw some pics of a new one and it was not as rounded on the bottom. Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Thanks.

Thanks for responding. I have had it in a shed since inheriting it in August of this year. The fluid I used was recommended by a local restoration guy, it is CAM2 Promax Premium Universal in green 5 gallon container at Tractor Supply. I am willing to do another brand if you think it is...

Thanks for responding. Now that we have it we do keep it under a shed. The picture was from when I changed the fluid the 2nd time. I cleaned that stuff off as best I could and then flushed it all out with gas and let it dry for a day before installing new gasket and new fluid. What about...

Ford Jubilee starts and runs good. The problem is after running for a while it is hard to shift gears. The clutch is not stuck because I can push in clutch while driving and it will coast to a stop. The tractor set out in weather forever before my wife inherited it. Transmission fluid was...
