I'd do the following. If one doesn't fix it , go on to the next one
1. Replace the sender since it is cheap.
2. Check the clearance of the rod bearings with plasti gauge to see if they are with in specs.
3.If out of spec, replace rod & main bearings.
4.Change the oil pump
As to trying to ignite the fuel to check for contamination. That will work with gas , but diesel doesn't ignite that easy.
I can supply you with new or used OEM Yanmar parts.

I really do appreciate the information but don't need the chastisement.
I hope u did not take offense to what I said. If I remember correctly your tractor came with a parts warranty. I was suggesting that you get your tractor seller to fix the prob.. You Paid for a tractor without such problems. He should fix it for you. Best parts source is the dealers on this forum or other internet suppliers. Parts cross reference charts really are not available. These guys often know of parts that will work but your better off with a yanmar replacement. If you order one you'll get it in a few days. You could prob go to a JD dealer and ask for a sender for JD 950. It would prob be the right one but I don't know that for sure. I have a reconditioned 2210 also. I am very happy with it so far.....I bought a cd with several manuals on it ... ebay...

I tend to agree with others than oil senders tend to fail either permanently open.. or permanently closed.. however I'd slap a 9$ cheapy sunpro gauge on it to see what the pressure was really doing. I think sunpro sells a metric adapter kit with lotts of doodads and connectors for another 5$. If it turns out to have good pressure.. I'd rig up a 'T' and get a new sender, and run the sender and gauge in tandem.
I must say.. I'm not a fan of idiot lights.. Without a gauge, you miss lots valuable info abnout engine condition as it ages.
For instance.. with a gauge.. you can see a gradual decrease in pressure that might happen over a period of years thru normal wear.. a gauge would let you see this 'normal' drop. With a lamp.. you would not notice a 'drop', untill one day when the lamp comes on when it is beloew the senders threshold. Hard to tell if this was a 'normal' drop.. or a quick drop.. which deffinately signals a bad problem.. like sheared keyway in an oil pump.. etc. A lamp also won't distinguish between a few psi.. like 5 psi.. and 0 psi.. A gauge will.

Have you, by any chance, seen if the sender is leaking oil? A lot of the bad ones I have seen show low pressure because they begin leaking oil after pressure builds up.

I have not worked on this model, But I would buy a mechanical gauge and watch the oil pressure at different RPM's and compare it to the warning light and specs. Many engines can vary their oil pressure depending on the rpm. Some engines like Detriot Diesel 6-71 or 8-71 idle with around 5psi sometimes even less but run with 30 to 60 psi. This quite normal. Do you hear any unusal noise from the engine.Valve noise? Knocking from the lower end of the engine?Electrical gauges and senders can vary greatly. They are affected by voltage and their grounds. I would also check the simple fixes, Change the oil and filter with the known proper style filter (a quality filter, NAPA, WIX, Baldwin etc) and quality brand and weight of oil. Who knows what the unit was serviced with before you bought the tractor. Good luck. Let us know what you find.
