From my IH Shop Manual for the 76 & 77 Scout II series...

"...The absolute value of compression pressure is significant but cylinder to
cylinder variation is even more important.  Allowable variation from cylinder
to cylinder is:

    Lowest cylinder pressure must not be less than 75% of the highest cylinder
pressure."

I could not find a compression rating.
