In essence, it’s an engine brake that slows the whole tractor down. I’ve been doing this to that same tractor for over 20 years. Nothing seems to get harmed.

Until the pump breaks and you careen downhill with no way of slowing down!

Cylinder liner inlet ports and exhaust valves in head, with positive displacement blowers providing the intake air, is a typical design. Dry sump oiling system with electric oil pumps, at least for start-up.

Probably use pressurized air direct into a cylinder to spin for engine start. Old-technique air shift of early diesel boats ran engine in forward and reverse... direct drive- no gearbox or clutch.
