[AJD] Champion Plugs - was Re: JD 70 running rough

[Troy Bogdan]

Dana,
Perhaps it is because the Champion plugs I am using are several years old. 
I bought a bunch of D-21s in bulk many years ago, and I am still using from 
that stock.  Maybe the new ones aren't being made with the same quality they 
used to have . . . that would be true with many things, John Deere Tractors 
included.

You know the old saying . . . something like . . . things just aren't as 
good as they used to be.  That is true with most brand-new products (and 
service) today.

Anyways, I'll keep that in mind if I need to replace any of the other spark 
plugs from machinery around the farm,  Take Care,  Troy

Your experince with champions are different than mine.  My snow plow tractor 
(ford Jubillee) was running rough as heck last January and I changed the 
points and condensor but it made little difference,  The champion plugs were 
less than a year old but I replaced them with autolites and the rough 
running went away.  This has happened on my JD 40 and my A in the last few 
years as well.  It is easier to get champion plugs but I no longer care for 
them.  Just my experince.  Dana
