My opinion is that there is probable minor damage. It may be minor, but not irrelevant. A diesel, even under modest load, runs cooler than a Gasser. Heavy loads they are about equal. Quitting is different than siezing. If it siezed it probably has scuffing on the piston skirts. There may be ring overheating snd loss of temper resulting in less (or uneven) wall pressure. Warped head/block can also be found. The fact that it is operating with apparent normalcy is a good omen, You may have been looking at smoke and emmissions from the belt, not the engine. If so it actually may be fine and dandy. Test one is to do a check on the temp gauge, it must be reliable. If it is OK, I think you are much better off than if it proves faulty. Put the bulb in a small pan and heat it with a propane torch. when it boils (at your altitude) it will be at or near 212. AN engine that is boiling out its coolant is not yet being ruined. when there are voids in the coolant, or it is dry, the temps wil get into the melt down range. Test the gauge. Repeat the check of coolant level. Check the oil often. Best of luck with it. Jim

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
