I worked for local Deere dealership when the M series debuted. The M series from John Deeres always ran lazy,like they were a few degrees late with their timing. It is the nature of the beast. This series of tractors was the first of the Dubuque works offering to the farmer. This tractor was not anywhere as good as it's descendants,the 40 series and the 420 & 430 tractors. They also had some of the meanest implements to attach to the rear of the tractor with that long coupling pole. The rubber bladder of the seat had a nasty habit of blowing out and the telescoping steering wheel shaft was a boondoggle for sure. This said,have you checked the timing with a light? The distributor bushings and the advance mechanisim will both cause timing and dwell problems that contribute to poor running. Does it run on both cylinders? These tractors have to have the oil pump timed or they will run only on one cylinder. These tractors were notorious for having problems with the starter not getting a good ground connection. the ground strap needs to be hooked to the end bolt of the starter housing.
