If the surfaces were clean this thing will hold!

Hope you got the original JB Weld.

Look at this Noel, go to about minute 6:20




Basically JB weld the original version, is the strongest.

Did you check the polarization of the magnets before you glued them or mark them ?

Dave

Had them marked. Hope fully I did it right.

Yep, original. Even got new stuff. Had stuff here but a number of years old. Don’t know if it has a best before shelf life date or not.

Soon as something in the fridge is one minute after midnite. throws it out. Jumpins any way. Instantly no good in mind.

That’s a great video Eugen. He does a great job of comparing things. Watched him on other things.

Considering how cheap it is, and that you want it to last, it's safest to get fresh epoxy.

I'm thinking now, has anyone thought of replacing the magnets with the much stronger neodymium ones? Maybe your tractor goes faster then

Slower. To much fictional hp loss


Noel

Well magnets didn’t fall off yet. So will start the back together process.
Maybe today or tomorrow. 14 week old grandson is here today for some of the afternoon.

Great success!

So it works as it is suppose to. Points just start to open just as the spark line on flywheel is beside the timing line on the bearing cover. And the points are set at 0.020.
If I had a timing light and if you can get to the points while the engine is running, you could set the timing by the light, by opening and closing the point gap while the engine is running. Opening the gap on the points advances the timing.
Now on to torquing the flywheel on, getting the covers on and fixing worn governor parts.


Noel

Great job! How's the compression in this one? Has it ever been rebuilt?
