Interesting video. I’m just thinking assuming all plugs are firing, and some of the plugs are wet or fouling up, why not lean your carb a bit? I’m not certain, but I think the harder you work the tractor, the harder it pulls on the carburetor. This pulls more fuel. If not working hard, less pull or draw through the carb. Seems to me if the carb is tuned to run really good in lite duty work, it will be rich, fouling plugs when worked hard at this tune. Conversely, it seems if tuned a little lean in lite duty work, it will be be a better air fuel when worked hard. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this, but I think it would make an interesting video.
Hey Farmall, good to see you’re changing the plugs. I agree with you on what you said about quality, nowadays everything is pretty much made in China and not American made. I found it funny when you said you found 4 different plugs but I guess it happens. Thanks for taking the time to explain the process and your preferences on the plugs. BOOM! From Canada.
Awesome looking tractor! My mom worked for Bendix outside of Fostoria Ohio in the 70's and I believe she worked making those autolite spark plugs there.
Stopping by to say hello to my sweet friend! You have an amazing channel and you have helped so many other channel grow including mine and I myself and so very thankful for you and your friendship. Hope all is well your way and much love to you from eastern Kentucky
I don't have a gasoline powered tractor but I do like using autolite double platinum plugs in my trucks. You are right, nothing made like they used to be. Good luck with your tractor and have a Blessed Day Friend!
Nice job setting & changing out the plugs. I'd be tempted to go ahead & change out the cap, rotor, points, & condisor while you're at it. Just suggesting. Stay safe.
The H sounds happy now. I've always preferred Autolite. I have to say my experience with the 6 cylinders - I had a 460 that I stroked out to a 263 and a 706 with a 291 - was that if you run them hard, which I did, you'd end up putting a couple sets of plugs a year in them no matter what.
My dad and grampa i never seen them ever buy new plugs.when i was young.alwayd went to the shed dug through a box of plugs ,clean the end with a brass brush. .prestolite. Where the hot plug if where burning oil...ha..
I bought a 44 M at auction, and it runs ok but has Champions in it, my problem is it wont shut down, it diesels then it run backwards to die, i done timing , reset the carb like you instructed but i need of some 3116s .Hell im becoming a Farmall Fanatic.🤠
I've had the same experience with Champion plugs. Especially in my old John Deere. I'd go threw a set of plugs one a year. I put AC in and I can't tell you how long it's been since I've had them out.
While you're at it, check the bearings in the distributor. If they are worn out, it will run a lot smoother and start better with a rebuilt dist. I would also do a compression test, just for good measure. An H was the first tractor I ever drove by myself, about 60 years ago.
I'd check your carburetor too, too me something still doesn't sound right. I had an H that would run like dog crap well changed plugs and cleaned carb but found out the manifold was cracked on the intake causing it to run rich
Nothing is what it used to be! We live in a throwaway society unfortunately. It’s sad. I still have a working deep freeze from the early 50s and it’s still going strong but have gone thru two kuerig coffee makers in the last 3 years 😡.
I could never run anything more than 2 days on Champions. I had a Ford mechanic on my old truck tell me to run motorcraft plugs only because Autolites aren't what they use to be plugs vary to much from each other in the same heat range. Just think if you were a JD guy you could tune up for half as much twice as fast but probably twice as often. 😁
everyone has their favorites, my self I would have pulled cleaned and reused the plugs be cause they were working. I would have when they were out checked the compression. maybe changed the cap and rotor. Maybe even the wires at that time.
I always hear about Autolite and Champion but Ive never heard or read of anyone using NGK plugs in a Farmall, ive run NGK AB-8’s in my H since last spring and it never skips a beat, is there something I’m missing?
I like the d21 champion, I do have the Auto lights and my 656 nowI do not care for them as well as the champion but my tractor is usually working very hard
Good job sir you have the H looking great and now running better to. Can’t wait to see the old girl working in the field. Did you paint the tractor or have someone else do it, either way she’s looking awesome
By the sound of the H after the plug change, I think the cap could be cracked. I can't wait to hear it after the complete tune up. Don't forget, there is two different tune up kitts. The vertical, and the horizontal. But I'm confident you already know this. Lol.
Good day. Yrs. ago we bought Allis WC for $65. from neighbour we found out when working it water would spray in plug, many times we were running on 2 cyl , I hope that there is nothing serious with it. Thanks
I miss the splitfire plugs lol the dual electrode you could always bend them back to spec with pliers lol too bad they went out of business for false ads lol.. And I am on the same page as you are with the champions lol and I did learn why you don't put ac delcos in a old dodge mopar engine lol which champions used to be the norm in but now its NGK or Autolite. I Can say I do remember for a while my Case dealer was pushing motorcrafts in the IH 6 cylinders and autolites in the 4 cylinders but now just about all they push is autolite or bosch
Can't really say much about the plugs for a tractor as. I haven't seen any in the Highlands with plugs there all Dervs Deisel old Ferguson's run on champion plugs i believe and they run on them.👌👍
@@FarmallFanatic Service Manager I worked to me and other customers to gap them at .030-.035. What kind of heavy work do you do, plowing , disking,etc?
@@FarmallFanatic Nice store I stop in there every time I'm in Corry visiting my Dad. Has way more stuff than the TSC here in Augusta, GA. We used to have a Quality Farm & Country here which I liked better than TSC but they closed. Wish they would build a Rural King here.
Could not agree more on poor plug quality! No good alternative to foreign made junk because if there was I would be using them. Been using Champion D21's for putting around the yard and working on the tractor but switch to a D15Y for actual field work, seems to work well but just got done doing a full rebuild on the motor running a mag and copper core wires. I always feel like valve stem seals, valve seat and rings are the real culprit general plug performance as most of these engines are in need of one or more. Having said that, Champions are less resilient for some reason. Thanks for the video!
I set my super m at factory recommendation ( .023 ) gap, did not run smooth, increased to .028 gap, no other changes, runs like a top. I do used champion D 21 plugs. Dads recommendation 😊
I didn't know you could "tune up" a Farmall H engine without adjusting the valves or at least running a compression test. I guess I was taught wrong 55 years ago.

Thanks for the views on spark plugs. Good to hear you start her up. Did I read you might feel a rebuild in your mind? 😉 ✌🧡

Being able to work and maintain equipment saves tons of money
Real tractors only have 2 spark plugs boom lol good video man
Hahahaha
This was so cool to see! Love how you bring us along for the ride! 🚜
I didn’t know where you were going at first. But I can handle spark plugs 😂👍 BOOM!
You can get the farming community worked up with this stuff lol
Champion ain’t no champ. Auto lite with the knock out 💥. Love the sound of that engine
Thanks for sharing 👍🤜🤛
My first truck was a 1970 c20 and it was a collection of odd nuts and bolts. The previous owner(s) just stuck any part in it that worked.
Great info on the spark plugs, thanks for sharing with us.
lovin the sound of that thing, sounds great.
Thank you!
Sounding good with the new plugs!
Great video man. A little maintenance goes a long way. Spark plugs Boom 💣💥 Take care man.

Love to see it! BOOM

Way to get things stirred up. The Ol H sounded good that's for sure.
I would say that you have worked on a few of these. I need to get dad tuned into your channel.
I have you a thumbs up 👍 for another great vid
I say geta big stick and stir the pot, lol. Sweet sound.

Those plugs don't look that bad should see the ones I pulled out of my 400
I used to own a couple Mopars, and I miss the days when Champions were my *go-to* copper plugs.

So when you say wet do you fix that or just live with it? Or can it be fixed
Change the plug and it will burn the gas that the old plug isnt burning. It's wet because it's fouled.

I'll have to check I think that's the same plug I put in the 350. where do you get your electronic ignition from?
Ebay
I have used Autolites, they don't last. I use Champion D-21. Also, gap the plugs at .030-.035. Most H's and M's don't do that much heavy work nowdays.
Dont do that much heavy work nowadays? Mine do...factory specs call for .025 for an H
