we think the bearings are OK, in fact in very good shape. Before the oil pump overhaul, when first started, oil pressure was like 50, then for the first hour about 22, and after that it would bottom out around 18. wasn"t really burning any oil either, maybe 1/2 quart every 15 hour operating. Before the oil pump overhaul, it had sat for 4 or 5 days, and when started, oil pressure was zero from the get-go. As I said, squirting oil thru the oil pressure relief valve hole brought oil pressure back to normal behavior, and even after sitting for a week it was still OK. My tractor guy also reports that the gears from the pump were indeed worn badly. Also did a compression test and that was fine all around, though has nothing to do with this problem. Anyway, right now my sense is either some problem with the newly installed parts, or that oil pickup tube has a problem, but all ideas are very welcome, thanx !
