Not likely. I would pull oil filter off and take a look for bearing material. If you find some, look for a complete engine tear down.

D239 is a German made IH engine. The knock could be the balances box is wore or a tooth is broke off the crankshaft balancer gear. Let engine set for a day or two then remove the oil drain plug slowly to see if there is any anti freeze in the pan.If so a rod bearing could be spun.They are very good engines for the most part.
