Went to move my tractor this afternoon. I immediatly noticed a miss. Thing has always ran well considering it is 64 years old.

Being old school I pulled 1 wire at a time off the distributer cap. #3 had no change.

Pulled that plug and found a chunk of carbon stuck between the center and ground electrodes.

Used a feeler gauge to remove it. Back to running on all 4.

Guess it was tired of hanging onto whatever and let go. Finding it's way to my spark plug.

Whole combustion chamber and it ends up bridging the gap on that plug.
 
Not uncommon for a 64 year old engine to start releasing some of its "fecal" matter.
