Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. The history on the tractor is intesting. I bought it from a friend who could not rebuild it for health reasons. He was going to scrap it so I bought it from him. It was a real smoker. I soaked the cylinder every week for about three months. It really helped. The tractor did not smoke and it used very little oil for about a year. When I started using it this spring it really smoked and burnt considerable oil. This has continued all this year. I have done some ATF soaking but it did not help. About six applications. I have the head off now and starting measurements. Interesting enough, the plugs never fouled out. They got black and oily but never did foul out. I do not believe the engine has ever been rebuilt from looking at bolts, nuts, parts etc. I will post what I find as I go along. Many Thanks for all the help.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
