I grew up running JD Model A's. Dad always ran Champion D16's, until this incident. We had a big storm rolling in, supposed to drop many inches of snow overnight, and blow and drift...the usual for late winter in the high desert. Well, we stopped at the parts house and picked up a brand new set of Champs for the tractor to use in the morning. Tractor was running fine, but dad always put a new set in at the 1st big snow of the year.
In the morning, we screwed the new plugs in and cranked it up. Dad started pushing snow out of the driveways, we cleared everyone in the neighborhood usually. About an hour after he started I hear dad coming home, and the tractor sounds like crap. He pulls in, shuts it down swearing. 2 poppers don't like running on 1 cylinder! lol. We put the old plugs back in, finished clearing driveways then went to town and bought a set of Autolite's. Since then, neither of us will buy Champs, I buy Autolites, dad buys NGK's. My only complaint with the NGK's is they take a bigger socket, and I like my 7/8" spark plug socket! lol.
