This is a follow on to a forum I posted a few days ago. My 1010 has low oil pressure. It drops over time and the needle on the guage is jittery. Today I changed the filter and put in new, John Deere 10W-30 TURF oil. Manual called for 10W-30 but i'm not sure about the turf part. When I started it up the pressure shot right up to 60, but half an hour later I was down to about 20 and eventually it got down to around 10 before I shut it off. When I changed the oil I pulled the pan and wiggled the rods and bearings. Two of the rods were a little loose and I could move them a tiny bit and make them make a clicking noise. I did not remove anything because I don't have a torque wrench, but the engine doesn't make any knocking when I run it. Is it bad bearings or something else?
Also, if it's bearings, could someone post instructions on how to properly measure and replace those, cause I really dont wanna screw that up.
