460 Gas runs rough

Posted by Greg J on March 22, 2004 at 09:16:21 from (12.205.137.98):

I have a 460 that just started running rough. The last plug (toward the steering wheel) seems to be the culprit. When I take the plug wire off, the engine runs the same. There is spark when I hold the wire near ground.

What size sparkplug socket does it take to get the plugs out? I have several but none fit.

Also what plugs should go in this thing. I've had the tractor for 17 years and it has always run great. The nearest IH dealer who has serviced the tractor has gone out of business.

Besides the plugs what else could cause this? This is in S. Iowa

The tractor will run under load with the choke partially pulled out, but with reduced power. It would not pull a 10ft disk fully in the ground saturday.

Any help would be appreciated.
