Dave ; I have read all the trials and tribulations you have had with your little IH tractor. I appears to me that it never does any real work. It gets started, pulls your water wagon around in the winter and runs a mower and bailer a bit in the summer. In short it needs to be WORKED. More than likely the cylinders have glazed, reducing compression a bit. Since it is designed with precombustion chambers, they are also pron to carbon build up. Change and top off all engine fluids, and find something to work it, keeping close track of engine temp and oil pressure. Like you, it needs a workout to get it back in shape. (how's that for people skills lol). After working it and the coolant temp and OP, didn't get out of range, your good to go. Your problems were common here in CNY when a tractor was religated to Poo duty on spreaders in the winter. If every thing checks out after working it, you can pull off the air intake pipe at the intake manifold, start the tractor and throttle it up to about 1/2 and hold a spoon full of borax close enough to the intake to pull it of the spoon and into the engine. this will deglaze the cylinders. Our Case Service Rep taught me this years ago, when we had a lazy engine and had determined that the fuel delivery system had no issues. It became a common cure for new diesel tractors sold in the fall and got the spreader detail for the winter, if it didn't straighten out during spring tillage.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
