Hi all, I have a 1943 Farmall H that I restored September 2007. It has always started and ran very good, but a couple days ago, it got a problem where it misses on the #2 cylinder. If I pull out the #2 plug wire while it is running, it makes no difference in the way it runs, so I know it is #2. There is spark at the #2 plug, but it still is missing on that cylinder. The other cylinders are not "missing". I removed the plugs and checked them out, they look very good, the were replaced a couple months ago, they are Autolite 3116 plugs. It has new copper core wires too. The mag has a good blue spark and the cap, points, condenser and rotor were replaced in September 2007. I did a compression test only on #2 cylinder and I've got about 65 in there which I think it about right for a all-fuel engine. My Dad said maybe it was a bad valve. What do you think? What else should I check? I sure hate to take the engine all apart again, but it is running very poor when only firing on 3 cylinders. It was running perfect before this happened. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Andy.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
