_popupControl(); finnaly got to get to know my first tractor-1955 WD45. After driving around to get familiar with it, I noticed the oil pressur read 8-10 psi. Is this normal? Dont know what kind of oil is in it or what the cold pressure was. Oil level is full.

Thanks,

Jon.

very normal, I have several that are around that the engine just does not build alot of pressure.

Hope that helps,

Denis

_popupControl(); Denis,

Thanks-big load off my mind. Was afraid I would have to replace the oil pump at the very least.

When new it was only 15psi. Worn cam bushings are what folks claim causes pressure loss.
