I am not a Champion fan, and I use Autolite 216. If you do use a Champion plug I would recommend the H12 which is a little better with today's gasolines.

I have a Ford 8N wheel tractor that also originally called for Champion H10's, and have found that I seem to have more fouling issues with them than the Autolite 216's (which is contrary to recommendations some people give on other websites). You may want to experiment a little and try both for a period of time to see what works best for your machine.

For what it is worth, I have had absolutely terrible luck with Champions in multiple different crawlers. I use Autolite or AC.
