What spark plugs are you running? Champions? If so here is a tip change to Motorcraft or AC Delco. Also go up one heat range, there putting more oil in gas for detonation than they use to. It fouls plugs real quick. I used to think spark plugs were all the same, not so, it takes a bunch more kilovolts to fire a Champion. We use to have a MM Z when I was younger, say 40 years ago. That old tractor would start running bad, back fire, miss ect. Dad would go to town come back with a new set of Champions and we would run'er another 6 months, then do it all over again. I was going out one saturday night,(drag racing), with my ole 67 chevelle. I was at my brothers garage, one of his mechanics was watching me. He walked over and said what are you putt'in Champions in that for. I said spark plugs is spark plugs. He made me a bet. He handed me one motorcraft plug and said you put her anywhere and I'll tell you where it's at on the Sun Scope with the hood closed. He did! It took almost a 1/3 less kilovolts to fire the Motorcraft. Went home changed the Z over to AC Delco and we never changed a plug in it again. Try it. I used to work for a small engine distributor, we sold tons of Champions every year for people to change their mower plugs. I use Motorcraft, same plugs for 3 years change them out of guilt rather than need. Try it it works! My two cents!

Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
