Making some progress on my 1942 Allis Chalmers C. Got the starter back from the repair shop, and with some working on the timing, go it started tonight. That is the good news.
The bad news is no oil pressure. Fortunately only ran it a few seconds. Dropped the pan and pick up tube was in oil. Took off the oil filter and no oil getting to it. Put some oil in a quart container and put the pick up tube in it and turned over the engine. No oil sucked up. No cracks in the pick up tube.
What is the next step?? Ran out time but it looks like splitting the tractor and looking at the oil pump. Read some the threads about the check ball. I know I checked the vanes and spring and they seemed okay, as did the check ball, but I do not know. Looking for any advice. Thanks in advance.
