I have a 1945 John Deere B. I replaced the oil pressure gauge recently because the old one hasn't worked for a couple of years. The gauge I bought is like the original except it doesn't say John Deere on the face. When I run the tractor the gauge reads a little above the Stop point. Doesn't matter what the RPMs are. I don't remember what it showed when the old gauge worked but it was at an acceptable level. I put gas pistons and a cold manifold on it a couple years ago and the connecting rod bearings were within spec then. I haven't checked the main bearing clearances but I did put a dial indicator on the crankshaft on both ends and then lifted up and down on the crank and had 6 thousands of clearance on the flywheel end and 7 thousands on the pully end. I rotated the crank and checked several times on each end. Thinking I should turn up the pressure at the oil pump. Don't know how much to turn it up but thinking a couple of turns. Does that sound like enough. What do you think of my method of checking the mains? Flame suit on.

But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
