    Points Adjusting Screw

    That explains why I couldn't find it in the parts manual! Thanks. Not that important, just thought if one could be had easily I'd get it.

    Points Adjusting Screw

    Anybody know where I can get the points adjustment (eccentric) screw for a front mount distributor? Mine is missing. I looked in the parts manual, but I don't see it listed. Thanks!

    1937 BR Timing

    I figured out which was the exhaust valve. Still having the same issue. Tractor will pull the flywheel out of my hand trying to start, but never starts. One thing that seemed kind of odd to me. When I timed the magneto using the I&T manual instructions, the magneto ended up all the way...

    1937 BR Timing

    Working on the BR again. Total newbie question, which is the exhaust valve on the left cylinder? Thanks, Rick L.

    1937 BR Timing

    So, a week soaking in Marvel Mystery Oil and a little persuasion and I got 'er broke loose. Pulling the valve cover and using a boroscope I was able to find TDC on the compression stroke of the left cylinder. The governor mag slots were horizontal, so the mechanical timing appears to be...

    1937 BR Timing

    So I am finding out. :cry: This also explains a continuous rear axle leak that's had me baffled for awhile. Obviously it is filling up with water every time it rains and is leaking out. Time to change all the fluids and get a tarp as well. Thanks, Rick L.

    1937 BR Timing

    Just a quick update. I went out yesterday to work on this tractor, and I guess water got into more than just the magneto. The engine is stuck. Tried everything I know how to do to break it loose, but no luck. Filled it with Marvel Mystery oil and I'll keep trying to break it loose. I'll...

    1937 BR Timing

    Here's a pic of the flywheel. The only markings I see are what look to be two punch marks, one on the crank and one on the flywheel. I haven't had a chance to look into any of the other suggestions. Thanks, Rick L.

    1937 BR Timing

    What you are describing is exactly what I am concerned about. Thanks, Rick L.

    1937 BR Timing

    Yes, it snaps and produces a nice fat spark at the plugs. Plugs are gapped at .030. Thanks for your reply, Rick L.

    1937 BR Timing

    Yes, the tractor was running before I switch out the magneto. I had to replace the magneto because the drain hole in the bottom got plugged up and the magneto sat full of water for a period of time and would no longer produce a spark. I was going to rebuild it, but the cost of parts was almost...

    1937 BR Timing

    I have a 37 BR SN# 327419. Just installed a rebuilt Wico XH477 magneto that I got from Brillman. This is the first change I've made to this tractor and it's my first JD 2 cylinder. I have the I&T and JD manuals. When I went to install the rebuilt mag the slots in the governor were not...
