cnks how much clearance do you have between the rocker arm and shaft?how much would you have if you just replaced the shaft? i would be very leery of reeming the bushings if the bushings are egg shaped. if your machinist could do it on the lathe and keep your holes inproper alignment that may be the way to go.or at least a possibility. if your bushings would fit better that is another possibility. the radius has to be round and smooth so it can move as the valve is pushed down.you could try the belt sander as long as you can keep away from grinding the worn or flat surface.talk to your machinist about it.if you have really excessive wear on the rocker ends he should be able to mill the approximate wear off the base of the rocker assy pedestals where they mate with the block.that would keep the rocker radius hitting the valve ends in the same area as a new one would or close to it.at the rate its going you could have bought another tractor with a good engine swapped them out and be farther ahead.out of curiosity how much oil pressure did the engine have? i hear a lot on the site about oil pressure not being that high on the letter series.makes me wonder just what the minimum should be.keep us posted on your progress.
