From my post yesterday I got the head off and the front of the head gasket was very week were I seen antifreeze bubbling yesterday. I have a burned valve in the 2nd cylinder from the front. Looking for someone in Western NC area that knows these tractors and likes to do engine work.

I agree with Michael, have it checked for leaks as well (cheap insurance against labor times 2)

Your auto parts store will have a machine shop on call or a list of shops that will Plane the head and do the valves.

Watch out if you decide to have the head plained: I know of a couple of guys that ran into trouble when too much was taken off. You never know: you might be plaining a plained head, unless you know the history of the engine.

If you have a mechanic do it, make sure you let him know that you want the head squared, that way the minimum is removed.

Better safe than ending up shopping for a new head.
