yes, normaly that is how it works but on those old farmalls the cranchshaft bearings are not pressure lubricated. the oir just runs out of a pipe where it is picked up by dippers on the rod caps. The line to the governor is just an open line too. So as long as you have any pressure reading on the gauge it tells you that there is flow and that is all that matters. i helped a kid put an F12 together and we couldn't get ANY pressure. but when we pulled the gauge off oil ran out the hole so I told him to go ahead and run it. At least we knew the pump was pushing oil.
