I doubt this would work for a farmall engine, but we used to prime our race engines (late model dirt cars, V8 alky) with a drill, using the shaft from oil pump to the bottom of the distibutor. Once the motor was put completely together, minus the valve covers, carb, and dist, we would attach a 3/8 drill to the shaft, put a pressure gage on the oil port, and crank the pump with the drill. This way we could make sure that we had oil pressure, oil was making it up through the pushrods, and we didn't have excessive leaks elsewhere. Worked every time. I'm not sure how the oil pump is driven in your engine.
