captaink,

with all due respect to you...as it appears you are a farmall mechanic and I stated I didnt know much about them......if the man has been running the tractor for 6 years and it hasn't siezed yet....Logic would indicate that enough oil is being forced somewhere important to keep things lubricated.

I also think many people are so hung up about some things.....they demand perfection and books specs on everything they mike or gauge.....if not, it is panic city and they grab their wallets and start buying rebuild kits, machine shop time, and hours in the garage.......all so when they fire the engine up, the oil gauge reads maxiumum readings, they can brag on the engine...and sleep at night. Most of these tractors are like us.....getting older and beyond their prime. And as for where oil pressure is held....unless there is a restriction (bearings) in the oil gallery/system....there can be no pressure built as it (pressure) is a measurement of restriction against the pump. Most oil systems send the oil to the cam bearings FIRST and the upper engine....rockers etc. GENERALLY speaking, if the oil presure is low, it is due to worn cam bearings....and if this is the case, the rods and mains are generally worn as well. BTW, I had a 53 Chevy with 235 six...I never did throw a rod....although #5 knocked pretty bad! That was a fun old car........that rod started knocking at 93 mph and I am quite sure, I could gone to 100 but backed off when the clatter got louder and louder. That rod never did let go.
