I think that 10-30 oil is too light when working a tractor. Your cam bearings may be getting worn too. I would switch to 30wt and try it. If you use it in the Winter install an engine heater. I had that problem on a Farmall A in 1976 after I restored the tractor and redid the tractor engine with a sleeve kit and new bearings. After I installed the plow and made several passes across the garden I noticed the oil pressure dropping. I had used 10-30 oil after the rebuild so I pulled out of the garden and drained the oil. Put in 30wt and never had anymore pressure problems. When we were on the farm we used 40wt in the H & C. Never had any engine problems up until 1953 when I was drafted and we had a 10-20 and it was 21 years old before the engine was overhauled. Still used 40wt oil in it too. Hal
