Super H Low Oil Pressure?

Posted by MWZad on January 19, 2011 at 10:26:04 from (67.189.252.111):

I have a 1953 Super H that I am in the process of restoring. Mechanically it is a great tractor and was well taken care of by previous users and just needs some cosmetic work. The one thing that needs attention besides a new wiring harness is that it seems to have low oil pressure. After start up the oil pressure is around the middle of the gauge then after a few minutes it drops to right where the redline starts on the gauge. I have not really gone in depth to try to see what is exactly going on because of the weather we have been having lately. I did notice that there is oil seeping through the gasket and forming on the oil pan bolt heads. I do have a new gasket that I am going to install this weekend when I change the oil and filter. If anyone has any ideas on some areas to check and some common causes for when I am working on the tractor this weekend, that would be greatly appreciated. I will say that I am relativly new to the antique tractors and since reviewing and joining this site I am already looking for the next purchase! :lol:

Thanks,

-Mike
