I doubt very much if sprockets on these late modern tractors would be cast iron. Perhaps cast steel.

The water pump and mag just turn together. Therefore, you would just time the mag to the engine as usual.

Could somebody please tell me how to time the mag. to the water pump?  Thanks

Yes, on the 5 gear model the Gov is not timed.  The mag is driven by the water pump and that needs to be timed.

Is it safe to assume that I don't have to time the gov. gears? My thinking is that unlike the ixb-3 the mag. is not gov. driven.

I have an IXB5 stationary engine that I'm putting together that I recently picked up. The mag. Is finished and timed with the crank. The gov. was off ...the mark is an "S" on the gear that drives the gov.  I don't know what to look for on the gov. gear.  Any thoughts? I'd like to get this running. Thanks Cork

The posts on this site are few and far between - seems like everyone is on the Cletrac Oliver "public" Facebook group.

The progress is very slow this winter, its just been too cold.  Shop is nice and warm but one has to get there.  Have gotten a few smaller pieces taken care of.  Battery box is now done and stored away and am working on the carb.  Just got the kit this week.  I did want to put the Tillotson back on it but have now given up on it.  Put it all in a box and maybe someday someone will need parts from it.  I am going to use a Zenith Carb. that was on a newer Hercules JXC engine, the engine I rebuilt.  I will post a few pictures of the Battery Box and the Tillotson Carb.  I took pictures of the Zenith and then accidentally deleted them.  Stay warm everyone.

Thanks Robert, I did the angle grinder test and the sparks were like fireworks suggesting the sprocket was cast iron.
I can see that someone previously has welded these spokes - confusing?
Thanks for the rod info.
