[AJD] 1949 A

[Gary Amy]

I'm in North Texas - But the tractor came from northern South Dakota. So, snapping something in the SD winter before I picked it up is a real possibility.  In fact, it was well below freezing the day I picked it up...and the whole countryside was white...We don't see that down here.
 
Thanks for your help.

Not sure what part of the country you're in, but if it's freezing you might 
just have a bit of ice in the sump and need to thaw/drain that out and 
you'll be OK.

I stripped the oil pump drive out on my JD H a while back, it got ice in the 
sump and it was solid enough to break things rather than chew up the ice. I 
hope you don't have something like that to contend with.

The 49 G that I grew up on had the problem you describe from time to time. 
We would put a pan of coals under the engine and in a little while we could 
start it and it had pressure again.

Hope that helps...

Confusion is a higher state of knowledge than ignorance.
