[Farmall] Governor Timing

[Jim Becker]

Yes, it is timed.  When the crank is at #1 TDC, a single mark on the crank 
gear will be towards the cam shaft.  The cam gear has a single mark that 
should be aligned with the mark on the crankshaft.  In the same position, 
the cam gear will have a double mark in line with the governor shaft.  The 
governor gear has a double mark to align with the other double mark.  If 
they are not aligned, you will not be able to set the magneto timing.
