Possible, but not likely, unless you are operating at such an extreme angle that would allow the oil to spill up the connecting pipe to the intake manifold. If an engine has a lot of blow-by and a PCV system it can happen, but you need fairly high RPMs to draw enough fumes through the engine and into the cylinders.
I once had a VW rabbit with a diesel that would enter this mode when on the expressway. At high RPMs it would sling so much oil off of the overhead cam that the PVC hose attached to the valve cover would suck up some of that airborne oil, route it to the combustion chambers, and away we'd go! It was like a red-neck cruise control- just take your foot off the accelerator and hang on! You had to randomly ride the brakes to control it and also to slow the engine down to below 2000 RPMs to break the feed-back loop. Luckily, my clutch didnt slip or it would have been uncontrollable from the drivers seat. The cure to disable this low-tech hyper-drive was an oil baffle VW came up with to install over the cam, under the valve cover, to keep the oil from slinging around in there.

I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
