A lot depends on the material. We have some places we used 20 foot 2x12's for plates then set the rafters on them at 3foot spacing and been there since the early 80's with no sag nor springyness. They are full rough cut planks with the same typs of rafters not trusses just a 2x6 for a rafter. The plates are on each side of the pole. We put a scab plank on the joint with a 5/8th's bolt through the pole and planks. I am looking at putting a single 4x12 in between a couple of 2x10 plates to widen a pole spacing in an older polebarn we have now that needs a pole replaced so I can have a bout a 25 foot opening width. All lumber here used is Oak,Ash,Elm. I would not be afraid of doing a 20 foot span with 2x12's in Oak,Ash or the like. I would use one on each side of the pole and bolt it with the scab plank across the joint though. then put some bolts through the scab and the plates. 3/8th's for that would be good through the pole 5/8th's.

If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
