Hi folks. Haven't been here in a while so I thought I'd check in, and happened to hit a good post. Here's one for you. A friend of mine called me up today and asked me to look at his 504. At the time, he had it hooked to a Gehl 1090 haybine and I think it may have caused his trouble. He had told me he was running the haybine and all of a sudden it developed a bad miss. He had done all the normal checks and repairs-carb,plugs,points,condenser,wires(although he installed resistor wires and I told him to ditch them),and even a second set of plugs.Nothing would work. I pulled the plugs and looked at them myself. #3 and #4 were somewhat blackened but not oil fouled. #'s 3&4 were missing. I did a compression test 1-150, 2-150, 3-150, 4-0psi. I think he overworked it and burned up the valves in #4. The point of my post is the 504 is a good tractor if it is used as it was intended. I don't think pulling what appeared to be a 10' haybine is what it was made for.
