[AT] ford 600/800 and 1 arm loader

[Chris Britton]

Yep.. I figure even if it was 25 psi.. that would be fine.. I have other old 
tractors that run between 8 and 12 psi.. just plain old tired engines.

I also agree.. it could be a defective gauge, or even old gas-thinned oil.. 
or just a cheap 10x or 5w car oil, and not a 15w40 or 30w oil.

If I do get it.. I think I'll cut the steering draglink and att a wide 'U' 
in it for clearance.

thanks for the reply.
