Vitor,
I'm not a tractor guy, but do know that all cams have a hard surface treatment so they don't wear very fast and usually last the life of the motor if the oil is changed at the proper intervals. If you have a pitted cam it will not last very long.:(
Does anyone in Portugal re-surface cams? They do that in the USA for car and motorcycle cams. Not sure about tractors.
Perhaps some else can tells us.
