[AJD] Oil pressure

I'm concerned about the lack of oil pressure on my AR. When we belted 
it to another tractor to turn the engine over with diesel inside, the 
oil filter was off and what seemed like plenty of diesel came out of 
the filter housing. Therefore I was satisfied that the pump was 
working. After getting the engine started for the first time, we had 
an oil leak at the fan shaft housing on the front of the governor 
housing so I know it's getting oil there. But after replacing the 
gauge, it show very little movement of pressure with the engine 
running. I took the line loose on top of the engine and blew air down 
through it and it seemed to help a little but the gauge still doesn't 
get up to the first red mark. The adjustment for the oil pump is 
inside the engine isn't it? That's my luck, it wouldn't be on the 
side like my B! Any suggestions? Thanks.   Tommy
