I have four cubs that I use for full time veg. farming, all were given up for dead by the previous owners. I would use her a bit and change the oil and filter a bunch of times, quick and often. The heavy duty oil, if it's rated for diesels, might clean her out alot. It may have been run on old non-detergent and there can be lots of sh%# in there. If it has good presure at start-up and drops at operating temp, I would think the connecting rod bearings may be worn. I would run her in the summer with SAE 40 and see what you get but should have 10-15lb. at least when hot. If I have an oil presure worry, I alway change gauges to see if the readings are consistent and not just a finicky gauge. If you don't want to do a complete o/h, you could just drop the pan and change the rod bearing for about $40. Won't give you more horses but should up the presure to safe range. You can clean all the old sludge out and check the screen then too. Best of luck keep those girls going!!!!
