[Farmall] Governor Timing

[szabelsk at gdls.com]

Yes there are timing marks. Now I don't know if the A is marked the same 
way the Cub is marked, but when I was setting the timing on my Cub for the 
first time I could not find the timing mark for the magneto after I lined 
up the timing mark with the crank. Turns out the timing mark is on the 
opposite side of the gear and is not easy to see. I used chalk to mark the 
two teeth on each side of the timing mark so that I could install the 
magneto without too much hassle, but the chalk isn't long lasting and I 
had to be careful when setting things up or I'd wind up wiping if off, or 
it would disappear if It turned the gears too much and the gears made 
contact. What I did was take a Dremel tool and transferred the timing mark 
to the other side of the gear so that I could see it when standing in 
front of the Cub, looking rearward as I slid the magneto into position. It 
just takes a small spot on the gear that is easy to see. Be careful to 
transfer it correctly.  I guess you could also mark the gear with a small 
paint dot but don't know how well that would hold up.
