B-275 Oil Pressure

I noticed yesterday while plowing snow that my oil pressure appeared low. It would run on the line between Red and White at fast RPM and in the red while idling. Usually it would run midway in the white area. However, I haven't used this tractor a whole lot since I rescued it so I don't know what is normal. I changed the oil after I got done plowing to make sure the oil filter wasn't clogged and it was still doing the same thing afterwards. I thought maybe it was the gauge so I put another gauge on it real quick and I'm getting 15-20 psi at fast RPM and needle barely moves at idle.

The weird thing is it seems like this problem started all of a sudden. Anyone have any ideas? I'm not sure if I should keep running it or not. Maybe it's always done this after it warmed up and I just never noticed. Thanks
 
may have sludge built up in the pan not allowing the intake on the pump to draw oil.

could be worn oil pump, check internals

could be bearings, check with plastigauge.

just a thought...
