Still evaluating my 861 for keeping VS selling. Had checked the compression wet/dry (previous post) and had confirmed oil pressure (2 gauges) of just over 20 lbs on start at 1000 rpm. Moved the tractor to a spot out of the way a day later to pull and rebuild the carb. When I did I noticed that the oil pressure was higher...30-40 lbs. Confirmed with a second oil gauge.
How is that possible? Sludge?
As a reminder, PO had not run tractor for a year. I haven't changed the fluids yet. It's soaking with a little ATF in the cylinders while waiting on the carb kit.
