Hi Rick, the Lucas alternator will give out before long but can be easily replaced with AC Delco single wire alternator. Re lifting the front end of tractor off the ground, I believe it should but am not familar with Allied loader. My brother has IH 2250 loader on 495 which is same tractor but 3 cyl D179 engine, it will lift front end off ground no problem. Re parking brake, check adjustment as someone else has said but most likely has been driven with brake on and wrecked the band and probably the drum.
Costs many $$ to repair, have to lift top off range transmission, fenders, fuel tank and probably cab. If the crap from the parking brake band has settled to the bottom of the transmission then there is likely no problem but if it was done recently you may have to change hydraulic filter and Hytran fluid a couple times.
My brother fixed his 684 by a suggestion from old IH mechanic. Get a length of all thread bolt with an "eye" on the end, drill hole in right foot platform so "eye" of all thread bolt comes up between the brake pedals, put a nut on each side of the platform and adjusted length so when brake pedals are depressed a pin can be put thru the "eye" to hold the brakes locked on. Works great BUT must have good working hydraulic brakes.
Re PTO, that is normal you can turn it about 1/4 turn when engine if off, makes it easier to connect PTO shaft of equipment.
Re 3000+ hours, I would not worry about engine.
If oil has been change regularly and good quality Diesel fuel used these engines will run for many years. My brother has a 454 (3 cyl D179) from 1972 with over 15,000 hrs and still running great. Another hint if it has the Bosch injection pump add some Diesel fuel conditioner or a tablespoon of engine oil every time you refuel. The Bosch injection pump has a lip seal on the drive shaft from the timing gear and its only lubrication is from the Diesel fuel. 30 years ago that was not a problem but with the low sulphur Diesel fuel today the lubrication is decreased.

My 2 cents
