after installing new rod, .001 undersize bearings, and standard mains the oil pressure has made an improvement. Best way , I know is to totally rebuild the engine.
However oil pressure goes to the top of the gauge, 50lbs, when first starting. I do not know the range on the original gauge. Gauge in the tractor looks like it came with the tractor. Checked oil pressure with another gauge and results are the same.
50 lbs first starting, pins the gauge, after warm runs 25-30 at idle , closer to 25, and at 1200 rpm runs at 40 lbs oil pressure. Engine sounds good. Tractor gets limited use. Have a loader on it which I really like. Would appreciate what others think about the present oil pressure on my tractor.
