100 psi from 3 1/8 dome-top pistons is not a lot. That's less than the book calls for. If I remember correctly, IH called for 105 psi for stock, 3 inch flat-top pistons. I don't have my book in front of me right now to check for sure. You can shave some off the head, if it hasn't been planed too much previously. I would get the valves gone over to be sure they seal, maybe have the head machined just until it's flat, then re-assemble it and check compression again. 100 psi isn't real high, but it is enough for the engine to run just fine, and depending on what you want to do with the tractor that may suit your needs.
