I don't have a problem with adjusting the levers when the friction surface is remachined but it need to be done before the clutch is reinstalled. Even then, if much adjustment is needed, most likely the cast plate is junk and the readjustment will not compensate for the loss of material. A worn out cast plate will leave you with springs that no longer have the correct compressed height and result in less clamping force. The geometry of the levers will also be off because the pivot holes are too close to the friction surface.
The levers need to be set within a few thousands of an inch to being the same height or it will cause the bearing to wobble when the clutch pedal is applied. Many rebuilders actually make the final adjustment by grinding the contact point on the levers to ensure they are in perfect adjustment. Even a slight misadjustment will cause accelerated wear on the clutch release bearing and carrier parts. You may be able to get by with it on a hobby tractor that isn't used much but on one that is being used regularly you are just creating future problems. If you think that the levers need adjusting after replacing a disk you have more problems than a lever adjustment is going to cure.
