I can not find the mark on the crankshaft that you line up with the mark on the camshaft on the M 18 s motor, the picture in the online service manual is difficult to make out where the mark is located Thanks Jim

It's the thin line on the front of the crankshaft. Look about 90 degrees off of the keyway. Look directly ahead of the part number straight ahead of the first throw.

Been busy modifying an old sears snow blade to fit the Cub, cut out metal plate to connect to Quick attach on front also have a 60 inch bolt on blade I made. Need to make a lift rod for the hydraulic lift on the tractor. Took wheels off and cleaned them up Broke the outer bead and poured in 6 gallons of RV antifreeze in each. Had some old tire chains off my old Ford Ranger that I modified to fit the cub tires and added crossbars to them, now got to get to work on the motor. Thanks Jim
