Hey folks I am new here and have poked around looking for information but haven't found what I am looking for.
I was using my tractor yesterday and after a while noticed that the oil pressure was low. Normally the guage is at the high end and this was definately not normal. I ran it home and at higher rev's it seemed to pump a bit more. I parked it, checked the oil and it seemed thin from being warm and of course black. I did not notice any milkiness to the oil indicating coolant and I assume that would be easy to spot. Rad seemed to be topped up and the cooling fins were not visible. I am not sure the last time I changed the oil but this tractor does not get steady use so it's not hours and hours of run time. Looking back it seemed to be smoking more than normal under load (brush hog). I have been told a couple of things now, could be the guage, could be the oil pump, could be the bearings, could be head gasket. I was wondering if anyone here had a good place to start and what steps I should take based on probabilites of where the problem may be. I am handy, but not a mechanic by trade so any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
