Hello folks.
I now have a 1954 tea 20, from what I understand so far anyways..
Trying to learn things about the old tractor
I am mechanically inclined worked on cars, trucks, and everything else my whole life went to school for automotive.
Only things I have done to it so far is change the oil and filter.. was unsure of what was in there but it was low and due for an oil change I believe..
Was having and issue with the oil pressure which the oil change didn't do much for..
It's got 50 lbs when cold and after it runs for a bit it ends up at almost 0lbs of pressure.. runs good no knocks or concerning sounds
Figure I will change the gauge next sine I have another at the house it will probably read the same as the current one..
It has a temp gauge on it but the wire has been cut off the back but it's not getting hot by feeling the hoses.
When she gets warmed up good it will smoke at idle but fine with throttle applied..
I installed a tach on it to see what it was turning it's idles at 1000rpm and I get about 1800rpm full throttle.
From what all I've looked at it should idle at 450 and turn around 2000
