Ok guys. UPDATE

I Took the fuel drain out and it seemed to run fine. so I put that back in and took out one plug at a time. Now please note I have to crank start this tractor (no battery). SO while cranking with one hand I am trying to hold the plug against a bolt on the engine to ground it and watch for the light. So it might not be 100% but I think there is an issue. Of the 4 plugs only the number 2 (From the front of the engine) had blue. None of the other 3 had anything. I made sure to crank at least 2 or 3 revolutions on each plug to make sure it should have hit at least one time. at least that is what I would assume. BUt only 1 did. I cleaned the cap and rotor this morning so I don't think that is it but they are obviously not brand new either. a bit burnt on edges and such.

The strange thing is this tractor worked just fine and then bang. I went around the field and it started sputtering then ok then sputter. like I said like it was missing. Then it started missing more and more and then dead.

Now last night when I thought it was a fouled plug. I pulled wires while I did get it running again for those few minutes it did run and number 1 and 3 from the front did not affect the engine at all. SO I assume 2 and 4 were firing at that time. but now it seems like 2 is the only one with spark.

What should I do or try next? I really am lost at this point!

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development ... [Read Article]
