Thanks for the reply El Toro. I didn't explain myself very well. First of all, the tractor did not get hot. It has a mechanical gage that works fine and it never gets hot, runs as cool as a cucumber. Radiator is clean and it doesn't loose a drop of water. I simply mowed for 1 hour, turned it off to unhook my mower, then it was lazy to start. It turned over a couple of seconds before firing and that's why I'm afraid it's got compression issues. Like I said, I ran this tractor for 3 summers in a row mowing hay, I was away from it for 4 years, then I bought it from the fellow I mowed hay with it for just a few weeks ago. I never remember this "lazy" starting when I used it several years ago. I would mow hay several hours at a time and don't recall it ever starting like it did on me this weekend. It just makes me concerned. When I used it back then, it might use 1/4 - 1/2 qt of oil running it wide open all day mowing very thick hay. It NEVER ever got hot even in 100 degree Texas heat. What else would cause this slow starting condition when up to temperature besides low compression? I must say, this BD154 simply will not start when cold without glow plugs but it was always like that. I've talked with other BD154 owners who say the same thing. But once you crank it from cold using the glow plugs you didn't have to use them again until the next morning.

Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
