One other thought. Is there any possibility that you have a leak at the intake manifold. Sucking air instead of the right air fuel mixture can cause "sspppuuutttering". Check for a broken gasket and loose fixings.
It may be fine when started cold but as things heat up the expansion of surfaces may be enough to cause the problem. I had something similar happen on a car. Try dribbling oil or WD40 stuff around the gasket and see what happens. If it's bad enough you may hear it or the oil will get sucked in and burnt off.

Are you 100% sure that you put the new plug wires on the way they should?. These engines will often run (badly) with the wires connected wrong.
Happy tractoring. Klaus

Before you go overboard pulling things down have you checked the fuel quality. How old is it? Any chance of water mixed in it?

Governor won't cause it to sputter. Turn the engine over with the starting handle and check that all four compressions are more less equal and they should also be "springy" when you attempt to turn it over the compression stroke. If the compression is low it could be the valves need grinding in or the piston rings are worn, or both, but you would get a lot of back pressure from the oil filler if you remove it slightly. It will tell you if just one valve is stuck. It could also be that the valve clearances need resetting or that one of the caps on top of the valves has come off, you will have to remove the fuel tank and the valve cover to check that. Check that the bearings in the Distributor are not worn, turn the engine until the points are about to open and then gently press the Distributor shaft toward the heel of the points, if they open then the bearings are worn. Make sure that the HT coil is wired correctly and that the power is going to the correct terminal. If you need the info to re-set the Governor, just email me and I will send it...John
