again you have not said if it is a 2 cyl. engine but from the 1944 date 
it must be, These engines, if equipped with magneto ignition, as most 
were, actually delivered an impulse every half revolution and will run, 
if poorly, when timed from the wrong side.  Due to the plug wires being 
adjacent and not quite a full rotation apart if improperly set one 
cylinder will be fireing late or early. neither condition will generate 
a smooth and full power delivery. At least from my experience with 2 
cyl. J D engines on Mod A, B and GP farm tractors. These Engines had a 
timing mark on the crankcase casting and the flywheels were marked for 
left hand impulse and left hand exhaust. The flywheel was on the left 
side of the crosswise mounted engine.
