Too many fergies now. The poor last Allis CA has to go to someone who will love her. Don't need it anymore, hasn't run since spring. So, started right up, as usual, got it to civilization for a clean up for market. No oil pressure! Engine sounded good, no leaks knocks, just no needle. So, blew out the lines, checked the guage, pump not plugged, just not pumping. My father wants to know what kind of pump, I don't even know- geared I suppose- he is 92, has good days and bad ones, sez ' if it was a house pump, you could prime it'. Humm. I got a oil can, squirted alot in there, seemed to be just falling into the sump. He is trying to get a closer look- I turn the key, and pull the ring.... like always, she fires right up- a good quart or 2 went right on his favorite 40 year old nylon parka. He was a few feet away, still too close. New oil, filter- start again... needle on the 'L' in NORMAL. Like it used to be. Now I am wondering about all the rebuilds that might get instantly ruined if the pump isn't primed, and all the dead tractors sitting in the weeds or going to scrap because the oil pump just, dried up... what do you guys think?
