Randy,

To me low oil pressure is something to be concerned about, otherwise why have a gauge?
Does the engine use oil, smoke, or have less power than it should? If so you are probably due for a complete engine overhaul.

If low oil pressure is your only problem, I’d pull the pan and check the crankshaft bearings as you may have one or more that are “wobbled out” as Allen suggests. Check the crank for scratches, grooves, wear, out of round, etc, and the oil pump for blown gasket or warped end plate. If all looks good, a fresh set of the correct size bearings, (according to what the crank currently measures) might just be all you need. The camshaft bearings could also be worn and contribute to the low oil pressure, but to replace these you will have to split the tractor and pretty much tear the engine apart.

Good Luck!
