Checking the compression is the correct thing to do. Here is a couple of simple things that I would do though if I didn't have access to a compress tester.

The third thing that you can do is pull the rocker arm cover and see if all the valves are returning. You could have a valve that is sticking and not closing all the way. Got lucky with one tractor by using some penetrating oil and lightly taping the top of the valve with a hammer until it came loose. Not the most scientific approaches, but they have worked for me in the past.
