After replacing virtually the entire electrical system piece by piece to try and solve a lack of power problem, we found that the cam lobes on the distributor were worn in such a fashion that when the points were adjusted properly on two lobes (opposite from each other) the points didn't even open on the other two lobes. We have split the difference so they open some on each lobe and it runs. My question is can these lobes be replaced? The shaft does not seem to have much lateral play. Should I just get a rebuilt unit? I have as much money in trying to fix this (including a rebuilt head) as I paid for the tractor 30 years ago but I would like to keep it since I have the implements for it too. Thanks in advance for any advice.
