Daniel, you ask...
1)-"Is there any way to check if I have the right spark plug wires? Mine look to be too long. Is there something I could look for to tell the difference?",,,well maybe yes, depends. The solid core wires will have actual multi strand wire sticking out both ends at the terminals. Carbon core wires will have either a piece of carbon impregnated string like material sticking out or a single thicker wire [no multi strand]. If you have an ohm meter you will have resistance of over 5K ohms if the wires are carbon core resistor.
2)-"I pulled of the big cup at the bottom of the air cleaner and it was half full of oil. what do you mean by the upper and lower mesh elements?",,,the actual air cleaner can [the big metal can] has a wire mesh inside it [non removable] & that mesh can plug with dirt & crud, the intake pipe above the air cleaner can also plug with dirt at the top or in the pipe [I have seen those pipes restricted to less than an inch inside].
3)- "When you say I might have restricted intake system or worn rings what do you mean?",,, on the restricted intake I was referring to plugging of the air cleaner or intake pipe, [run the tractor without the air cleaner hooked up to see if it runs better]...On the rings, if the piston rings are worn your compression will be low & that can cause hard starting, oil burning, poor combustion, poor idling, & general poor running. A compression test will tell you a lot. You can take an old spark plug & break the center electrode & porcelain out, then weld a fitting to that plug shell that will fit your compression tester..
