From my experience, low oil presure was usually due to worn bearings not a worn pump(but it can be). Pump is a major repair on cub. Rings and rod bears are just about as easy. But most important...does the oil presure gauge move after starting. As mentioned, cubs do lose prime if they sit a long time and will NOT pump oil (no matter how long you run them) until you use an oil can and fill the pump. There is the tiniest little allen head cap screw, which is really hard to find on the left side, kinda between the two hydralic lines. Use a good well fitting allen wrench....don't strip this one. Old tired cubs often don't have a lot of presure but it should climb up 1/2 way when cold. I work four cubs commercially and the one that hasn't come in for a "major O/H" I run 40 oil with Lucus additive. I have put 50 in it during the summer.Good luck, the cubs are just great machines.
