Then WHY is it that most cars of today only run around a 8.5to 1 ????? plus all the computer controls ing. timing ?? I am by far a math major . And like someoine else posted the compression ration of the C263 and the C301 Stock when new . And like i said as far as i have knowen that as long as i have been playen with engines we have been on the research method till they started playen this numbers game with it . When this emission thing started the first thing that went down the tubes was compression ratio then cam timing was layed back 4-8 degrees carbs richened up and fuel milage went to the basement and horse power went into the cellar . Also answer me why we have this problem with over heating and detonation when everything that you can control is still there?? have you ever tryed hauling a load of grain with say a 77 I H 1600 load star with a 345 in it up and down our hill The 87 of today will not do it . Here again you have to move up to get the same performance . What i have said all along is that before 1975 reg gas at the pump at 90% of the stations was 95 octane ok yea it was the OLD Research rating .Also on these old 4-6 cylinder engines after 58 when they were new before they ate valves and had there heads milled down god only knows how many times now you got problems. Now the other problem i have with you directly is (1) you do not farm with your tractors (2) you do not work on them (3) you have never run into these problems . But you are the first to condemn me for given my advice . As to what i have found over the 25 years of fighting this problem . And if and extra 60 bucks a year on 300 gallon is tomuch to spend on you tractor to save and engine then you is really cheap even if i am wrong which i am not .

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
