Very few manufacturers specify a compression value. Most just say that the difference between the compression of the highest and the lowest cyls. should not exceed 10%. However, The WD-45 manual specifically states that the Compression Pressure (gas engine) should be 125# at 500 RPM.

My book doesn't have that info, but I know if its above 100 psi its fair to good. If I remember right new it should have been around 150 or so but anything above 100 is good for and old engine

I have tractors that have run on less then 75psi in the cylinders but they wheren't real strong. But I have had others that way that ran great, tune ups go a long ways in old tractors. Another thing use only copper core wire to the plugs it makes a very big differance

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off.
