[Farmall] problem?

[Bobby Guilbeau]

Thanks for the input Mike, I have a service manual, and from what I recall I
did line up the marks as in the manual.  The problem is that I started
putting this engine together about 4 months ago, had to stop and now I've
finally finished it up.  I'll check the valve rockers first and take it from
there.  Of course I'll tell everyone the story once I find the cause and get
it running.

There is a mark on the cam drive gear that matches a similar mark in the 
timing gear. One of the advantages of having a service manual for a 
tractor is having that kind of information available when you are doing 
the work. That is why I always recommend that IH tractor owners purchase 
a copy of the service manual for their tractor from an excellent 
supplier like Binder Books <www.binderbooks.com>. If you didn't like up 
the marks, then you have little choice but to tear the engine down far 
enough to move the cam forward and rotate it to get it to that point.
