Chroming the crankshaft is another option. Probably the most expensive option out there, but... The soft babbit material of most tractor bearings make this possible. The shaft and bearings will last for the rest of your lifetime, assuming you change the oil and filter regularly. . You can chrome cylinder liners, too. Just use soft cast-iron rings, not chrome-moly. With a chrome liner, the setup will likely last the rest of your lifetime, assuming you change the oil, filter regularly, and keep the air filter clean. Worst case, after a very long time, you slap another set of soft cast-iron rings on the pistons and run for another forever. . Aircraft people do these kinds of things all the time. The high-compression, turbo-chargers, super-chargers and high power-output of an aircraft engine, combined with the scarcity of some vintage aircraft parts, all combine to make the chrome a good investment to prevent wear. In a tractor...the wear will remain minimal virtually forever. . Google "hard chrome" and crankshaft.
