I think the gauge is the original. I notice that when I first crank the tractor, it takes the gauge about 10 seconds before it moves from the peg. Then, it will rise to about the middle of the "O" in "OIL." If I run the tractor for an hour or so, plowing, discing, and the like, the pressure will tend to fall just about to the edge of the "white band" while @ operating speed and maybe slightly into the red at idle. Is this normal?
The tractor does not smoke noticeably at all. It seems to have good power...will pull my Ford 2-12" plow easily. I don't hear any noises in the engine but then it is fairly loud since I have a straight pipe with no muffler.
Could my oil pick up (in the pan) be clogged or bent? I've never had the oil pan off this tractor.
