I bought a 1971 yellow and white Farmall Cub that I am trying to get going to mow some grass. The motor seems down on power even for a Cub. There is a lot of blowby coming out the oil breather/dipstick area and barely has enough power to run the mower. I checked the compression and it has 125 psi in all four cylinders. This seems to me to be in the normal range for compression. The tractor has been sitting for a while. Will this get better or do I need to look for something else? Tuneup? Carb. rebuild? New rings? Will adjusting the valve clearance help power. Any comments appreciated. Thanks
