I'm pretty sure the Cub has a bypass oil filter so if it's clogged it won't have any affect. I'd start by checking the oil pressure gauge by replacing it with a one you know is good. Then I'd check the oil pressure relief valve. It's located on the right side of the engine just under the magneto drive. Unscrew the plug and remove the spring and plunger. Make sure the plunger is clean and can slide easily in the hole. Also, check the spring for proper tension. If all of that checks out then I'd drop the oil pan and look for restrictions in the oil pickup or sludge in the pan. Finally, if none of those fix the problem, you're left with spliting the tractor and replacing the oil pump on the back of the block. Hopefully, it will be something easy and inexpensive to fix.
