It depends on what the compression ratio is supposed to be. A lot of the gas tractors of this era had a 6:1 or 6.5 :1 compression ratio.

It"s easier on the starter if all the spark plugs are removed. Affter checking the compression dry on all cylinders, add a couple of ounces of motor oil to each cylinder and repeat. Record both sets of numbers. then get back here with the results.
