    Solenoid questions

    I have a 57 Ford 600 that I converted to 12 volt years ago and it has worked great for years. I ordered a solenoid from a tractor supply but it is a four terminal rather than the old three terminal. The old one worked with the push button start which is a ground button but that no longer...

    Timing gear questions

    What you are saying makes sense. A couple of friends looked at it when I was gone and may have changed it. I didn't think they had messed with the distributer. I think this will correct the problem.

    Timing gear questions

    The timing gear on my Ford 600 tractor has an aluminum timing gear with a steel insert where it fits on the camshaft.

    Timing gear removal

    Thanks for your response. Have you ever done one with the snap ring? It appears like the end of the camshaft is larger and the gear won't fit over that extra diameter. However, if that is true, I have no idea how they installed the gear in the first place. I tried pulling the gear but it is...

    Timing gear removal

    Sorry I didn't answer both of your questions. The tractor is a 57 and the engine is a four cylinder. I believe it is called a Red Tiger engine. The Jubilee and first models had a bolt holding the timing gear on but the later models have a snap ring. The ones with the bolt allows the timing...

    Timing gear removal

    The key holding the timing gear to the camshaft needs replacing on my Ford 600. This model has the spring clip rather than the bolt holding the timing gear. Is there a way to change the key without removing the engine and camshaft? The aftermarket manual I have says I need to remove the...

    Ford 600 timing

    The engine smoothes out at higher speeds but I haven't checked the timing at higher rpms. Will check out your suggestion.

    Ford 600 timing

    My Ford 600 started missing badly. When I check the timing it does't stay consistent. The timing mark jumps all around with at least 10 degrees variation. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this?
