Hello everyone! I picked up a Ford 861 Diesel tractor a little while ago from a good friend who passed away. It was his "Daily Driver" tractor and has been used quite a bit. Im not sure on the year. It has the 5-speed, live P.T.O, and power steering, however both the hydraulic are shot and most of the hoses need to be replaced (a future project). Anyway I pulled it out of the boneyard a few days ago and started doing little things to it (Change all fluids and filters, flushed fuel system etc.) It smokes a little bit but runs very smooth. One thing I noticed was as I used it and got the engine warming up the oil pressure would constantly drop. (From 40psi when cold to hovering at about 20-22psi at 1,000rpm) Im wondering if this is a problem or if thats just happens when the engine gets warm. What do you guys thing about it? i'm thinking about possibly restoring it, but not sure if its worth doing or not. Any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
