I received my distributor camshaft with one minor change it was missing one base plate, so I shimmed it with a .050 washer, So that the base plate will move both weights. Hopefully I have displayed these pictures in proper order on assembly.CM

I'm not the world's biggest Pertronix fan, but if I could not find the correct cam that will fully engage with both weights I would have made new pins for the old cam and installed a Pertronix as a workaround to the worn cam lobes.
I don't know how much you intend to use this tractor, I would expect the weights and cam will wear rather quickly with only half of the tab on each weight contacting the arms on the cam.
Things rattle around a lot on a 4-cylinder engine.

i see wht u have done with the washer, but i would get one with a smaller hole, that might throw it out of balance. make sure the contact surfaces and the spring pins have little dap of light grease like the white lubriplate grease, with a tooth pick you dont want any sticking and they are famous for rusting up.

All very good comments, thanks for all your insight. It won' take that much to make an appropriate washer to accommodate! Spot on with the lubriplate.CM

1935 John Deere BN History - The History of My Tractor - by Alexander G. Knox. My grandfather, Orval A.
