I have no experience with JP Tractor but, right now it does not sound like a pump issue. Assuming the obvious (correct weight oil and oil level, not bleeding oil from anywhere especially the rear bell housing area), it sounds like some kind of galley issue. May be the machine shop forgot to put in the front galley plug. Without the front plug, the oil would just flow towards the front of the engine and dump itself into the govenor gear/cam shaft gear/crank shaft area without building up much pressure (no resistance) Then run back into the oil pan. Unfortunately the plug is behind the cam shaft gear and not easy to see (I do not remember if you can see it when the cam is turned). Eitherway this basically means taking a significant amount of the engine apart. Thinking out loud, do you have a way to pump oil? If it is missing the front plug, I wonder if you drop the oil pan, remove the oil pump and pump oil manually through the galley direct the hose toward the front of the engine, will it flood out the front of the engine? If you pump oil in from the pressure gauge port (without removing pump or turning the engine) will oil flow out the front of the engine? If the rear plug was missing, there would be oil coming out of the bell housing area. When the problem is found, please let me know what it was.
