There's a lot of variations in those engines. If it's a 2800 series from an F or early F2 combine, it would come close. Cam or crank driven oil pump is one thing to be considered. Front plate for the hydraulic pump is another.

What year or serial number is the tractor??? Makes a difference on which oil pan it can have. What year and model of combine is the donor engine coming from ??

1978 185 would have the crankshaft driven oil pump with the deep oil pan. Combine engine turbocharged or not ??

The original post mentions a 2800 combine engine. I would assume that it's from an F or early F2,and that it's non turboed. But,who knows. Engines get changed and altered over the years. A 6080 engine or one from a later F2 would make for a sweet project.

No turbo. I have the bad 185 motor so if timing cover different can change

You will have to change the timing cover and the front plate and probably the oil pan. All combine engines have no place for a hydraulic pump, so those parts must come from your tractor engine. This requires pulling the camshaft and replacing it. Also the water pump from the tractor is required.

Well new info I just bought a 185 motor for my 185 so should fit. Have to go pick it up in two weeks said it’s out of tractor that ran good but rear end was bad I do have to use my injection pump and hydro pump. Probably the best solution

'They said' is a pig in a poke, but yes, if it is good runner it will save a couple or three days labor.
