[quote="George Marsh"](quoted from post at 06:35:44 08/12/14) ...... When tractor sits for a few days, more than half the oil drains back to engine. You can see it on the dip stick. You can take filter off and see that over 60% of the oil is missing.
I'm not 100% sure my problem is. I've tried many different filters. I'm not sure my problem is the way the conversion kit was installed.
I notice it takes about 10 seconds to fill filter and build oil pressure. My engine was totally rebuilt before I bought it. Engine runs great, uses no oil. Some say there may be something wrong inside, however I'm not taking the engine apart to find out. Instead, I use full synthetic oil, thinking synthetic gives me better dry engine start up.
I just changed my oil and this time I found the smallest Delco filter that will fit. It too drains back, but because it's smaller I have less oil to put back in filter. It 4 seconds before I notice oil pressure gauge move ........
Do you fill the filter before you put it on the tractor when you change it? It could be the filter is building air pressure from not being full of oil. OR the oil system check valve is AWOL :)
