OK, as you may (or may not) remember, I bought a 706g at an auction a few weeks ago. I had to get the radiator recored, but I expected to find a few bugs.
I got the radiator back today, put it on and ran it for a while and it didn't overheat or leak, so I am pretty happy about that.
It was running sort of funny and weak, so I pulled the plugs and the first 4 looked good, but the #5 plug had the electrode mashed in so there was no spark at all. I bent out the electrode and reinstalled it because all the plugs look good.
It runs very smooth compared to how it was running. It revs smoothly and lugs well. It runs cool and starts great.
I am looking at doing a tune-up (coil, plugs, points, condenser, wires, rotor etc...) and an oil change since I read something on here about low-ash oil.
Finally, I am worried about this 93 octane business. I was able to get 91+ octane from the co-op for my farm tank and I don't plan on working the tractor very hard. Maybe plowing/discing a couple acres per year and running a 6' bush hog. (I know, I don't really NEED a 706)
Is the 91 octane going to kill this engine since I am not going to be pushing this tractor a lot?

I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
