Case 1030 comfort king Timing

[RickW]

I changed out the o-rings on the fuel pump and i thought that i lined it back up correctly. I must have missed it one knotch. The tractor runs fine, but under load it seems to pull down easily and it smokes a little more than it did. It also seems to run a little hot. How do i know how to set the timing correctly?

There are timing marks on the front pully, the engine must be turned till the engine is on compression stroke on number 1 cylinder then the pointer should line up with the specified number of degrees before top dead center. The 1 1/4 plug on the pump drive housing is then removed and the mark on the pump drive gear and the one on the drive housing are aligned. you probably missed it by a tooth as you suspect. The correct timing should be on a decdal on the front tappet cover if it has not bben painted over. i not Im gonna guess that 30 degrees will be awful close, close enough that you'll never know the difference. mEl

Rick, If it is only off by one knotch. You should be able to loosen the pump and tilt either towards the tractor or away from it to see if it cleans it up. This will tell you what way you need to move the gear.

Thanks for all of the advice. Got it done and it runs great and does not leak anymore.
