[AT] Re: It's a Cub!

[charlie hill]

One of my tractors lost oil presure a few years ago.  It turned out to be 
just a clog of dirty dried oil in the little line from the block to the 
guage.   You might be able to look in the oil filler hole and see if the 
valve train is oiling.  If it is you have oil presure.  If you can't see in 
the hole it is easy enough to pull the valve cover off.
