Normally diesel engine compression is checked by removing the glowplug and installing an adapter threaded like your glowplug, that will also fit your compression guage.

I can't find a thing that tells me what the compression should be for your tractor, other than the ratio should be 23:1.
OK I will remove the GP's and test. I guess I'll need three hands. One to turn the key, one to hold the tester (unless it doesn't need to be held) and one to keep the fuel cut off.
I suppose if one is much lower or two are much lower, that would indicate a problem. I'll expect 300+ and go from there I suppose.
Mybe do the oil/leak down test and see what happens with that.
Will post back when done. Thanks guys.
Who makes this little engine anyway?
