honing creates a cross hatch pattern that keeps the proper amount of oil between cylinder walls and piston rings - you want a 45degree pattern, less holds too much oil, more doesn't hold enough. 45 is just right.
So yes- you need that cross hatch pattern. Of course the tractor WILL run without doing it, these aren't v8 racing engines - but it's easy enough to do, so I'd recommend it.
as for the valves - an easy way to check if they're seating properly is (obviously with the head off) fill the plenum area with kerosene, then watch to see if any leaks through the valve. If it drips out you need a valve job. If a small amount seeps out - you probably still need a valve job, just not as bad. If none comes out in an hour, you're good.
