I think the owners manual has some pretty good info on setting the
air gap. I will look at it tomorrow and see if I can be more help.
Do you think it was PTO that was getting hot or the engine?

The electrical latching relay setup on the PTO for the Cyclops tractors is a little more complicated and can trip people up. Your two main control devices are the seat switches and reverse switch. If either of those controls fail, the relay will not stay latched. In the Start position of the PTO switch, it bypasses temporarily those controls.
If you are still struggling to figure this out, this video may help in the electrical diagnosis. We did a video series on the electrical system of an 1882, which is almost identical to your 1862.
