I have over 200 hours on the NGK Iridium plugs in my JD D140. I've been replacing the factory plugs with NGK Iridium plugs in all of my OPE for 7-8 years now. No complaints to report for the most part. I have a Honda Harmony mower with the GCV 160 engine that has several hundred hous on it, and it is hard starting when left idle for weeks. It starts after 2-3 pulls when operated every two weeks. Not sure if this is a plug problem. It had been a first pull start on the copper plug. Maybe I will go back and see if it makes a difference.The fail safe way is to take one out and look at the number.
My JD X320 had one number hotter than the manual said.
Has anyone tried iridium or platinum plugs in their lawn tractors?
