We have an Allis 180 with the non turbo 301 diesel engine. We have only had a tractor about 3 months. Recently had a fresh oil change. Tractor showed 5600 hours but the hour meter was not working when we bought it. Tractor starts easy, runs well with no smoke, seems to have good power but does burn some oil. Son was using it to pick up hay with a grappler and was idling it across the field when then engine abruptly shut off. He attempted to resart the tractor but it would not turn over and the starter immediately burned out. He pulled the starter and tried to move the engine with a pry bar - no movement. I thought it was moving but he swears it has not since it quit.
Pulled the valve cover off and it has several bent pushrods. I told him to go ahead and drop the oil pan and see what we were dealing with. Just called me - everything on the bottem side looks OK nothing looks like it got hot or galled due to lack of oil. Oil pan is not completely removed as the wide front end has to come off to get it out.
He says the thinks he can see a gear in the front of the engine (behind the timing plate) that looks like its out of alignment. Next step is to remove the radiator and start tearing into the front of the engine. We have a massive shop manual for this tractor that we bought from the dealership that was selling off all their extras.
How often does a 2800 301 diesel break a cam shaft? Would a frozen injector pump or hydraulic pump cause this?
The other thing - we had a couple issues with parts not being attached correctly - the PTO drive gear was laying at the bottem of the pan when we bought the tractor and a few other little things. Son says you can see where this engine was taken apart (in frame overhaul?) and several parts were marked with paint pens to aid assembly. Would the cam gear spin off if not attached correctly?

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
