I have just rebuilt the gas engine on my IH 2400 tractor. It runs good but no oil gets to the rocker arms. I popped the head back off, spun the engine with the starter, and saw oil coming up the the port in the block. I blew out the holes in the head and the rocker arms and still couldn't get oil. Next I plugged the oil pressure relief valve and started the engine. The gauge went past 100 lbs. and pegged. Oil just barely dripped from the rocker arms. So I pulled the front head bolt where the oil port is, flipped the tower out of the way and blew air down the hole. With the side cover off I could feel air coming up out of the sump. Everything must be clear, right? I started the engine and still no oil. So today I built a top oiler for it, plumbing it into the tap where the line to the oil presure gauge goes. Must have put too many holes in the tubing I used for the oiler, I was pumping so much oil up there it couldn't drain fast enough and started running out of the vent tube. Tomorrow, if I find time, I can close off some of the holes in my home made oiler and probably make it work but I'd really like to find out what the real solution is. Any ideas? Thank you.

They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
