Low Compression

I've got a general question about low compression in N tractors. Would you expect a tractor that hadn't been started for 2 months to have low compression(i.e., less than 70 psi)? My 46 2N wouldn't start and after replacing the coil, plugs, rotor, condensor,and points and rebuilding the carburetor, I decided to check compression. The results dry ranged from 50-70 psi. Wet, the pressure went up to 75 psi or so. Also, after the wet test, I was able to start the tractor and have been able to start it for 5 days in a row with temperatures down to 25 degees F. I realize the oil probably helped to seal the rings and increase the compression level but I'm surprised that I have been able to start it everyday since even in cold temps. I will check the compression again but was wondering about the lack of compression after not running for 2 months. Would appreciate inputs or comments from you all.

Sometimes even brand new engines need to get "compression primed" with squirt of oil to seal rings.

Oil can and does leak down the cylinder walls over time of non-runnin'. Its a capillary thing.

Yeah, check yer compressions again, both with cold engine and a warmed up engine. Its the hot engine compression that really tells the story of engine condition.

I'd probably run a can of Marvel Mystery Oil innna oil for about 10 hrs and then drain and change filter..... ...Dell
