The biggest problem with running tractors that were originally designed for heavy duty service on leaded gasoline is that most of them are now doing light duty service (short run times at low horsepower output) on unleaded gasoline. The originally specified spark plugs (Champion D15Y) are too cold and foul very easily, sometimes in 10 hours or less. I have been plagued with this problem on a 404 and a 656. The cure is simple. Substitute hotter spark plugs like Champion D21 or if you can get them D23. D21's cured my problem. Note that D15Y plugs will still work reasonably well if the tractor is on a heavy load like a mix-mill or snowblower.
