I'm assuming your 801 diesel has the 172ci engine, the picture you posted is of a gas motor. The 172ci does not have camshaft thrust bearings in fact they have no bearing at all but behind the timing gear there is a camshaft thrust plate. To test this, once you get the timing cover off push on the timing gear toward the rear of the engine block then take a screw driver or what ever and pry forward behind the gear then take a long filler gage ( dial indicator is best) and measure behind the gear how far forward it has moved if it moves more then .007" of an inch you will at least have to replace the camshaft thrust plate. If the gap is excessive then on the back of the cam is the hydraulic pump drive gear and it maybe worn and need replaced also but for that you will need to split the tractor. If this all test good then I would check the counter weight drive gear as these I am told wear out, you just have to drop the pan for this. Yesterday Tractor sells an very nice manual for this tractor, but it mainly refers to gas motors but does talk about the diesel since the two motors are almost identical. Plus they sell most parts (but not all) you will need. Hope this helps.

I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally
