I personally wouldn't mill it unless it really needed it.
First of all, I can't imagine the horsepower gain would even be noticeable (but the bill will be).
Second, as mike pointed out, they aint making any new ones. Why start machining parts that don't need it? Think long term. 50 years down the road, some other guy might be rebuilding your tractor, the head might need machining -with no material left to correct the problem.
