[Farmall] oil pressure

[Mike Schmudlach]

Your gauge numbers would not help Lee at the archives.
Your best bet is to look in your parts book or service manual.
All an old tractor needs is some oil pressure.  Even my diesel truck only
reads about 5 #s after it is warmed up and idling.

Darn good question! I echo the concerns about good oil pressure when cold 
and then losing it when hot. The only exception is my T-20, it runs high oil

pressure all the time. I had an F-12 in the shop with a badly worn engine. 
Even after new bearings it was still too low for my liking so I added Lucas 
oil to help it maintain good pressure when hot. I wonder now if the gauge 
was incorrect and giving us an incorrect reading.

I don't know how new his info. goes but send a few gauge #'s to Lee Grady at

the archives. I doubt IH made them but there is a chance they have info that

tells what size gauge and from whom they bought it.

Let us know what you find out. I got a Regular that runs good when cold then

nothing once hot.
