[Farmall] Farmall C oil pressure

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Good possibility the plate on the bottom of the pump is warped and the 
gasket is blown. The plates can be faced off at a machine shop, made of 
aluminum, I think. If you need to pull the pump its pretty easy, 2 bolts 
with locking tabs on the side of the block then it just slides right out. 
I've been told you can add a washer to the spring to compress it more, but I 
have never done that. If bearings aren't in the budget or time doesn't 
permit, check the pump plate and use one or 2 quarts of Lucas oil until you 
can do a proper rebuild.

Hi All.  Can the oil pressure be adjusted on a farmall c?  It's only about 
10 psi cold, then falls close to zero hot.  I pulled the pan to check the 
pickup screen, it's all clean.  It runs fine and doesn't seem to burn oil... 
is there a spring that's either adjustable or just worn out?
thanks,dave
