Yes it does. Take off the drain plug/screen and try to snake a magnet on a flexible wand around in the oil pan to retrieve it. Maybe you are lucky and it didnt fall into the front baffled compartment of the oil pan. That pan is pretty deep, and if its never been off, there are probably worse things in it lurking far below the rotating crank and rods nestled securely in the accumulated sludge. If you have another rotator cap handy, I'd just leave that one in the pan so youre always carrying a spare.
You could put a few cow magnets on the bottom of the pan to help hold it (and any other metallic bits) tight to the pan and keep them from rolling about if it bothers you.
Now, the real question is: Unless you were installing new valve & guide assemblies, how did those valve clearances get so loose that a cap could come off and have enough room to slip between the valve stem and the lifter?

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
