That answers that. And, you're right about the 955 sump. Thanks.

If there is one tool that will produce a layer of compacted soil, it's the tiller. If you want to see evidence of this, take your shovel and remove all of the loose, tilled soil over a 3' X 3' area behind the tiller. You'll find a "table" of hard, compacted soil. The PTO tiller will produce this "table" much harder than a walking tiller because of the extra power. This "table" is the result of the flat portion of the tiller blade pressing downward on the soil beneath as the blade makes its circular spin to break up the soil above. The agricultural disc will not produce a "table" like that, but over the years it will produce a compacted layer below the depth that the disc has been set to operate at. When I was a kid on the farm, my Dad removed this hardened layer by setting the moldboard plow at a deeper depth every three years.

Frank,

I recently saw a Super "C" that had the distributor coming off the drive at a 90-degree angle - the distributor cap was setting up vertically. It was still in line with the drive shaft coming from the governor. As you viewed it, the distributor was located between two of the sparkplugs and nearly at that height. The coil was located at the end of the casing for the drive shaft from the governor. As you viewed it, it was located to the left of the distributor, in a vertical manner, but it was located lower that the distributor in-line with the drive shaft coming from the governor. I have seen a lot of Super "C"'s. I mean a lot of them. But, I have never seen one arranged in this manner. I live in the MidWest USA, so perhaps this was a regional thing. The tractor was a late '54 model. Have you ever seen a Super "C" built like this?
