I am a girl with 20 acres and a very old tractor! It has started to backfire-loudly-enough to make me yell almost every time! The exhaust is hot, it is pinging before it backfires. I hate to call someone out-when they see a girl they charge a fortune. Any suggestions as to where I should troubleshoot first.
 
Absolutely, check your timing. You may also be overheating. Check your antifreeze and your airflow through your radiator. You might also throw a copy of this onto the MH and MF forum and they will be the folks most in line with your situation.

I would have someone look at the advance mechanism in the dist. Probably rusted up. You will need to remove the plate that the points are mounted on.
