I believe the 540 had a Continental flathead 4-cylinder engine in it if my memory serves me correctly, probably a 140 or a 162 cubic inch model (doesn't matter, the valves were all the same even if the displacement was different).

The 550's and 560's had overhead valve engines I think. Those flatheads were also used in a ton of older Massey Harris' as well as in Case V's, and in millions of Lincoln welders as the power unit so you could even call a Lincoln welder dealer. I know for sure the exhaust valve seats are replaceable, and maybe the intakes have inserts (but I'm not sure).
