As long as those plugs are wet like yours, you'll never have to worry about burning a  piston. Before I rebuilt my 45 it used an amazing amount of oil. Someone before I got it had the pistons out and then put them in backwards. Where the wrist pins rubbed the cyl. walls there were two grooves about 1/16" deep by 1/8" wide. It smoked like a freight train and would foul a plug 30 min. I kept thinking about a temporary fix so I could finish my brush hogging. I finally thought of chain saw plugs because they're built to fire in oil. It never fowled a plug again. I used a Homelite XL 923 plug. It started good, ran good, and smoked more than it did before, just because it fired every lick. Since it's turned cold I've been thinking about putting them back in for starting easy. I don't run them in the summer now.

That sounds like a good fix did you ever fix the grooves. What was the number of the home lite Spark Plug?

Click on site above. $5.71 per NGK XR4IX/7189 Spark Plug. Yes a little pricey, but they run better than any plug I've ever used. They will probably last as long as have my tractor, which has been 20 years so far and hopefully another 20 years into the future. I do run an points eliminating electronic ignition conversion with a high performance coil. The tractor also is completely converted to 12V. Starts and runs great at 20 below zero or 95 above. I  use my WC with WD 45 engine year round. In the winter snows, if it doesn't start and run, we don't get out. We've always been able to get out in Central Vermont winters. I'll never use conventional plugs in my stuff again.

My rear Tire has a leak on sidewall.I bought a repair kit to fix it and it still leaks.I can buy a Tube and have that put in Tire. 60 Dollars is Better Than 600 Dollars fo a new tire. I wonder if that would fix the leak ??

I don't know what you bought to "fix a leak" on the sidewall of a rear tractor tire, but that tire already has a tube in it. No such thing as a tubeless tractor tire on something of that age. I can't see your tires sidewall, but there is such a thing as a large patch called a "boot" to help keep dirt and things from migrating thru a porus sidewall and protect the inner tube. There are also "liners" to lay inside the tire to place a layer of stiff rubber between the tire carcass and the inner tube. Anyway, your inner tube has a leak, not the sidewall.

Last time I bought plugs the only think I could get ahold of easily was Autolite 306... They are running good in my one WD.
