One last note on squirting oil or similar into the cylinders. Unless you have a lot of smoke, OR blowby (which is usually manifested by oil mist constantly coming out of the crankcase breather), no need to do so.
However, if you want to assist sticky rings freeing up, there are a couple of ways. I like to use Marvel Mystery oil for that pupose. If you are using a standard pump oil can, 2-3 squirts in each cylinder. OR if you are pouring in directly 2-3 teaspoons full. with the plugs out, turn the engine over 1-2 revolutions. Then repeat the process and let sit for 2-3 days. This will coat the rings and cylinder walls with the MMO. I have also used bulk Blaster for the same thing with good results.
Before putting the plugs back in, crank the engine over for about 20-30 seconds. This will distribute or expell any excess MMO or Blaster. Put you plugs in, and fire her up. Be sure to run it up to temp, and keep it there a bit. It will smoke and beltch a bit until the MMO or Blaster burns off. What you will have accomplished is getting a solvent based lubricant soaked down into the rings. Bringing it up to temp, with the frsh oil change will do a lot towards loosening stuck or dirty rings. Continued regular oil changes. clean fuel, and occasion good stong "work outs", and you should see you compression improve, and smoke reduce.
However, be aware, this is if the rings are not broken, or completely worn out. This will free sticky rings, and generally improve a tractor that suffers from the "sitting" disease............
