Elegant solution is roller followers. Adjusting the valve lash to solve lobe wear is a stretch. If it is too loose, you could increase roller impact with the lobe face, but again I believe it is unlikely. Too tight, would increase contact force at maximum lift, but you would burn a valve before you would effect lobe life. Two potential causes are excessive engine speed and poor oil. Is your HI set too high? What kind of oil do you use and how often do you change it? The local dealer cautions against using 15W40 oil in these engines. Claims, IH sent a bulletin which said excessive cam lobe could occur with this oil. In my opinion if this engine is that sensitive, then maybe I should have a different make engine. Consequently I use it anyway, and just change it more often. If any cam fails, I will get rid of all my IH stuff and buy something better. It is possible the OEM missed the heat treat on these lobes or overall had poor metallurgy. You could perform a hardness check, and also could do on the new cam. Just don't do it on the new cam lobe face! If hardness is not uniform, get another cam. Once a lobe starts to wear/fail from let's say surface pitting, the end is inevitable.

A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
