[Farmall] Down hill foul

[Frank DeWitt]

Backing down the hills is OK with me,
but Frank is the man who has to buy the plan.
I doubt he will.

I would ask Frank if the plugs appear oil fouled or gas fouled when he
takes them out?  That might be a clue toward a cure.

Lots of input.  Thanks.  I haven't been able to look at the plugs 
because by the time I get to Ionia it has "Fixed it self"  but not 
until I climb a long hill in first or second gear because I am 
running on 3 or 2.

I think from what you all are saying I have at least one low 
compression cylinder.  I did see some vapor out the breather on the 
way home after a long gentle up hill in top gear wide open.  That is 
the hardest the tractor has ever worked.

I plow snow with it and drag stuff around, but no hard work.

It looks like if I get to it I should check compression and then if 
needed put some rings in it.  If not I should put in hot plugs at 
least for the drive to and from the show.

Thanks again

Frank DeWitt
