[AJD] What a day - Galloping idle - Backfires

[Almost-Running Deere]

Usually Roberts supplies a "test" setting and starting back at that point 
may help as well.  Just curious did you check the air cleaner and cleaner 
oil levels?  No water in the air cleaner?  I once had a tractor setting 
ouside and water in the air cleaner made it run poorly.  Just an idea
