Hey guys, first post here. 2 years ago I gave my 1948 Farmall c a freshen up, tore just about everything down behind the bell housing with all new seals gaskets.. etc, I didn't touch the engine because I had been into it a handful of years back and everything looked good and it ran great, long story short I got her all painted and freshened up the summer before last. I was brush hogging with it at the end of last summer when it didn't lose oil pressure but slowly dropped to nothing within about an hour of mowing one day, so I stopped and put her away only to tear her down last winter to find the rod and crank bearings were severely worn, plus the oil pump cover was shot. So with the help of my machinist father, I got them measured up and rolled in some new bearings and refinished the oil pump plate. Everything was within spec and got put back together, some running, no hard work and an oil change later, she's back on the mower, problem still persists although not nearly as bad. On first startup when the oil is cold she holds 65 pounds of oil pressure at full throttle, it takes about 10 minutes of mowing to the the oil warmed up and then she's down to a steady 45 to 50 all day long no issues there. The problem comes when I idle her down, I think it starts knocking although it still holds oil pressure, granted not very much. I'll attach a video of what's going on, I think it might be time for a new oil pump plate, because I think that one may be warping when hot but I don't know, and input is appreicated, thanks. https://photos.app.goo.gl/EdPiCkETdxC9hoPF9

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
