And we're back, with again oilpressure light coming on after some towing even on horizontal level and only right after rpm drops from around 1800tpm normal work speed back to stationairy at say 800tpm. Once lit, accelerating has no further effect, pressure keeps being close to none. So that, together with the poor availability of spare oil pumps (appearently there's no market for it), made me realise something else could be wrong. One thing can be that oil is not returning to the oilsump quickly enough to keep level. So the oilpump is not to blame for low pressure but the supply of oil to the pump might be?
Not looking forward to opening up the carter, I bought a cannister of 300mL engine carter cleaner. A fluid that is mixed with the engine oil 20 minits right before an oil & filter change. It needs to run that long, only stationairy (not hard working!) and right after stopping the engine, take the plug out, remove the filter and drain oil thourougly.
Also switched from low-budget-horse-piss-SAE30 (prejudism) to a solid well paid for 10W40 oil, and for the moment all seems fine again! Did a very long job today for 3 hours in the fields and coming back into the garage, running stationairy as a sunshine without oil pressure light coming on. Wauw. It's been a while
While I was at it, also put 50mL dieselinjector cleanerfluid in the fueltank, hopefully I added a few more years of tractorfun by doing so.
Totally besides the subject; added a "steer pulley" or how is it called? Very handy to have:
