If you're replacing the camshaft or having it reground, replace the lifters.
If the cam lobes and lifters all look good, no need to replace the lifters.

I had heard rumours that an old Case Model C was languishing away in the back of one of the outbuildings there. So off I went in search of what would turn out to be a very rare and unusual tractor.
