I was recently working on a Ford 2000 that 'only needed a tuneup' for the neighbour who bought it last summer like this. Tune up helped a bit but didn't eliminate the constant popping etc. Compression is 70psi on all three cylinders (should be around 130-140). Oil trick doesn't help, indicating valves.

My guess: Running unleaded fuel for too many years in a leaded fuel motor has probably pounded the valve seats out of it... ie: not a cheap repair.

If you are serious about this tractor take a compression guage with you, as I would bet this is a very common problem in old gasser tractors.
