Agreed. That's what it says in manual. 20 degrees . Most kohlers will run very well like that. If your doesnt, you can use a timing light to set the points. You sandblasted the flywheel. You say you didnt see Mark's. Did you see any letters?

Yep, R Bedell did and that is what I'm going to do to mark the flywheel.
And the way I used to time my race cars was to adjust
the distributor about the same way you'd adjust a carburetor.
Seat of the pants dyno,
that never worked to good.
But it sure was fun!

I've tuned all my carbs on vehicles that meant anything to me IE classic cars, and race cars with a vaccum gauge.

There is an "S" (for spark) and a "T" (for top dead center) on the very outside flat edge of the flywheel.
You have to look close to see them.
Should not be an issue finding them if the engine is out of the tractor.
Very hard to see them w/the engine in place on a QL.

Default Timing marks on flywheel search.

Old post to respond to but I noticed that the timing marks were 90 degrees from the crankshaft keyway of the flywheel. Seems the keyway of the crankshaft is in alignment with the rod journal of the crank on my K321..

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
