Hello! I actually don't own a tractor, but I do own a '63 Checker Marathon auto with the Continental F226 OHV 140 hp motor that I know is used in all kinds of tractors and other industrial equipment. I bought this Checker three weeks ago (I own two others; they are the tractors of the auto world) and just drove it today, after an oil change. I show 12-15 psi at cold startup, and 15-18 psi at speed (est. 2500-2800 rpm at 55 mph). I use 10w-30 oil. I can't seem to find anywhere what the normal oil pressure is. The hottest this engine has gotten so far (thermometer in the radiator tank) is 135 deg. f. It runs extremely well. Any thoughts? Nice site, by the way. There are some really nice classic and antique tractors around these parts.
