Got the engine rebuilt from the coolant leaking around the sleeves and ran into a problem yesterday. Was mowing hay and the tractor stopped wasnt getting any fuel and checked into the injectoe pump and found the drive gear underneath tore up. Removed the oil pan then and found chunks looked up inside and found the gear on the cam was destroyed as well. I need to remove the cam and was wondering if i could remove the radiator and fuel tank if it will come out the front without removing the engine from the tractor again. any help will be greatly appreciated.
 

Yes cam can be R&R without removing engine but you'll will need 12 magnets to hold the lifters up while changing cams. BTDT in early model 4430's when they were in warranty. OTC had a set of magnets with clips to hold lifters up.
 

Sounds like the engine needs a 100% tear down and inspection. You will be in for a lot of down time and lost production. To keep tearing the engine down several times to keep adding new parts here and there.
A complete rebuild the first time would cost you less then going into it the 2nd time.
