A lot of hot rodders would put a shaft in the distributor hole and spin the oil pump with a drill to get oil the engine before they started it. You probably can't do that on your tractor. Some engines just will not build oil pressure with just the starter, some will. I have rebuilt lots of engines and never had a problem with just starting them up and making sure the oil pressure comes up within a few seconds. I'm sure that you probably used grease or an assembly lube on all the parts, right? That will lubricate everything till the oil pressure comes up. Don't idle the engine for the first hour of use. Bring the RPMs up to 1500 as soon as it starts. This will suck the oil up faster and wash out any dirt that was in the engine and run it thru the filter. The camshaft and pistons don't get enough oil when the engine is idling slow. That why trucks nowdays always increase the idle when they idle for more than a few minutes. The computer will even shut the engine off if you don't increase the idle speed. That might be a good habit for farmers to get into. Up the RPMs to at least 800 or 900 if you are going to be idling for any length of time. Good luck.
