I am grinding the valves on my Oliver 80 and it looks like i will need 4 new exhaust valves. Does anyone know where to get these or what kind of motor the 80 had? I thought it was a Waukashaw but am unsure.

Well you will think I have screw loose, But if it was my head I would not look for any. I would bore the guides out on a seat & guide machine. That gets rid of any guide wear, get 4 new John Deere valves from NAPA or Deere depending on price and go from there. You will also need the John Deere retainers. Point being if someone wants to sell them 80 valves for a large price there is an alternate repair. You also did not say which head you have as there were different head sizes from rowcrop to the 80 and also different length valves depending on which compression ratio head you have. Questions?
