[Farmall] Slow Cub Oil Pressure

[Jim Becker]

The pan has a cork gasket.  If you have better luck than I do, the gasket 
will remain in one piece and you can use a bit of RTV to help it get by 
until you redo the engine (which sounds fairly soon in any case).  The worst 
part about pulling the pan is the 3 bolts across the back, which are hard to 
get a wrench on.  A socket with a universal joint works about as well as 
anything.
