[AJD] D John Deere Flywheel

[Gary Epps]

Looking at the flywheel on the '35 D this afternoon I noticed a line, 
presumably scribed, across the rim of the flywheel going from the 
outside of the flywheel to the inside.  Also at another location on the 
rim there is a dot created by a punch.  An inch further is a series of 
two or three dots.  Are these significant or are they just marks that 
have occurred over the last seventy years?  I had not noticed them before.

I found them today as I was rolling the flywheel over a few degrees at a 
time, checking the tappets.  It looks like I have one that is probably 
too tight.  It is probably tighter than it was before .0020 was taken 
off the head to flatten it.  I hope to get them adjusted tomorrow. 
Assuming I can get some time away from putting in a lawn.

Somehow I have managed to misplace the bolts that held the shutter 
assembly on.  I seem to remember that they were square headed bolts. 
Would the correct bolt be square headed for this application?  I'm 
slowly getting it put back together.

Next to get it started.  With .0020 milled off the head I give out 
before I've turned the flywheel very many times.
