[AJD] spark plugs

[Robert L. Holtzer]

Nick, I had a similar problem with a motorcycle.  Kept trying hotter plugs 
and still the same problem.  It turned out to be an incompatibility of oils 
that resulted in some type of conductive coating on the plugs.  Once the 
oil system was cleaned and a single  brand used, the problem went 
away.  Don't know it this is possible with your tractor but it might be 
worth a thought.
