Subject: Improved Camshaft 20-0007763

We have available through our Parts Department, an improved camshaft, #20-0007763, which can be used to replace part #10A21831 and #10A30471.

The new camshaft #20-0007763, has a material change which will give longer life. The new shaft will be used in production, starting with July production of 425, 451 and 504 on diesel tractor engines, as well as the gas tractor versions.

We are using camshafts for different engines and applications with different valve timings and to avoid errors in the field when checking for correct valve timing, we list the following information.

When checking the valve timing with a dial indicator, proceed as follows: We will use camshaft #20-0007763 as an example.

  1. Allow engine to cool for 30 minutes if it has been in operation.

  2. Rotate engine until #1 piston is on the compression stroke and then on to the DC mark on the flywheel or crankshaft pulley.

  3. Set tappet clearance on #1 intake valve to exactly the clearance cold, as recommended in the respective operator's manual or on the data plate of the engine.

  4. Install dial indicator on cylinder head so that the indicator contacts the valve spring seat. Set dial at zero.

  5. Rotate engine one revolution to the 13° BTDC mark on flywheel or crankshaft pulley. The dial indicator should read  .003" to .006". Slight variations can be expected.

If using the feeler gauge method:

  1. Set the valve lash. .003 over our recommendation on #1 intake valve on the compression stroke, and then on to the DC mark.

  2. Rotate engine one revolution to the l3° BTDC marking. Will be zero or nearly so.

One degree less than the actual opening is used to compensate for any manufacturing tolerance that may exist.
