Keep a couple Autolite plugs handy for when those AC go bad. Haven't ran AC plugs in a tractor for years. Box of eight all went bad within a year, 4 different tractors and owners.

What number Autolite plugs do you recommend? I use the tractor only for tractor rides, no field work.

Whatever crosses from your AC number, 386 comes to mind, but check for sure.

3116 Autloite .
Now if somebody could find the otherwise identical plug with a 1.00” reach instead of 0.50” reach .
I have put 3116 in a lathe and made them into 7/8” reach .

That's interesting. I use AC C88's exclusively in my Waterloos. 530-730. Could never get a set of Champions to last. But the last set of AC's I bought were probably 10 years ago. I've not tried the Autolites, but will keep them in mind for the next tune up.
