Hello again Tractor folk, Jeff again with more stuff,

spill timing is not a black art its just fluid mechanics and timing, IE, when the pump opens and closes its ports to let diesel in to its pump chambers timing one of these old TEF`S is a lot easier when the engine is off the tractor as you will see , when the engine is off the tractor you can see the flywheel if you look around the machined edge of the wheel you will see one arrow, this lines up on the block with another arrow to give you top dead centre ( TDC )

At this point you go round to the other end of the engine and set up the cam timing don't for get to find a way to adjust the cam chain tension

have a look at his picture from the Manuel

remember this these marks are only for reference always check to see if things are where they should be, the only thing you are doing at this time is setting the cam timing  any way after you have done this an easy little check stick 2 push rods in to there holes for No 1 and do the same on No 4 then rock the crank backwards and forwards No 1s push rods should sit still and No4s should move up and down , DO NOT GO WACKING THE CRANK AROUND FULL TURN , just in case you've got it wrong, now the pump put the crank back to TDC IE the 2 arrows then fit a dial gauge to the end of the crank

 and turn it back about 40* degrees then move it to 32* degrees taking up any slack ( there is a hole drilled through the case in to the fly wheel at 30* degrees so you know your in about the right place

i do prefer the gauge anyway

then go to the pump and remove the top of No 1 out put and remove the spring and valve

then put the top back on and fit a old injector pipe with the end cut off

check that the default marks are in line

connect some sort of tank with diesel in it turn it on and press in excess fuel button now remove the inspection cover

on the side of the pump . now put some tape around the end of the shaft then look at the end of the shaft there should be a dot turn it to the top , turn it anti clock wise till fuel comes out of the pipe then clock wise till the fuel just comes to a drip

drip

then just a touch till it just stops

put in the centre splinie device and rotate the engine the fuel will start to flow and as No 1 comes back again watch the fuel and the gauge the fuel should cut off at 32* BTDC if it does your done put the rest of the bits back on and away you go
