Hello guys. Used the new to me ford 1500 tractor yesterday for an hour. Parked it and saw the gasket where the diesel injection pump bolts on was seeping a little oil. Figure I will pull the pump and put a new gasket on. Was looking at the pump and then read something about changing the oil in the pump. However nothing in the manuals talks about what kind of oil goes in one. So please help on the type of oil. I doubt that it takes hytran.
Also the tractor just has idiot lights and I'm not sure they even work. Was looking at a gauge panel to add that has the oil pressure, water temp, and voltage meter. Since I tend to overthink things, which my wife also tells me that all the time, I am wondering which is better, volt meter or amp meter?
My 2606 has an ammeter. When I think about it, the amp meter just tells me if it is charging or not. The volt meter will show the voltage condition of the battery as well as show a charge when the voltage jumps up after starting. If both are a good idea then I need to find a 4 gauge panel to add somewhere around the dash. Thanks.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
