Kinda funny but I was raised on Champion plugs. Dad always preached to me that I should always use em. 1st time I had a problem was in 75. Did a tune up, drove 650 miles and had several misses at idle and fuel econemy was off. Took the plugs in and put em on a tester and had 3 bad plugs. But dad was a God to me and I still used em. Was home on leave and dads AC CA that ate plugs, 2 to 3 sets a year had a valve problem. So while dad was doing field work with the other tractor I pulled the head and took it in. Couple of days later I picked it and decided that when I put it back on I'd put new plugs in. The place I went didn't have the Champion plugs for so I got AC's. About 6 months later I was back home heading to Germany and and told me "that valve job fixed my plug problem"! I told him "dad I don't know, I put AC's in when I put the head back on". He got mad, went to town and got his Champions. About 2 months later he sent me a letter in Germany telling me how the Champions had failed again and he put the AC's back in and it was running fine. I still used Champions....until I bought a Bobcat with and Onan engine. That thing ate plugs every 20 hours. Well the engine was weak and I thought it was the engine. Did a complete rebuild and still every 20 hours it ate the plugs. I decided to try a different plug......fixed that problem right now! I don't use Champs any longer!

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership, ... [Read Article]
