I noticed that you were asking what it cost,the best thing is to find a machine shop and ask what their rates are,if you are close to a big city there could be several machine shops,so ask a few of them,and if you find one that you like,take the head to them and see what they say.A head thats got a lot of burned valves can get up to 400 dollars maybe more.If it just needs a few valve guides,and they are replaceable,which a lot of old tractors are,and not many burned valves that can be reground might even get it done under a hundred.You are better off leaving it to a machine shop unless you have a valve grinder and know about how to repair a head and check it for cracks and warpage.
If you are thinking about rebuilding your motor,and have not done a motor,or even seen somebody do a rebuild,you need to ask lots of questions,and watch someone if you can.A tractor can get expensive just for the parts,and while its not real hard to do,it is kind of a particular job.It has to be clean,and you need to torque all the bolts which means the bolts need to be clean,threads wire brushed and lightly oiled.Bearing shells have to have tangs lined up on the same side and rods have to go back in turned the same way as before,arrows point to the front on pistons,things like that.You need a manual.Then set down and read the whole thing about rebuilding a motor before you even start.Try and find somebody that has rebuilt motors and ask them,and ask on here because you will most likely have questions.Take pictures if you can before you take it apart just in case you dont remember how it was put together.
