I am having problems with low oil pressure on my 60. It starts out high but after 20 min of running, it levels out at between the 0 and L. I have changed the gauge to an JD gauge, I have put in 40 wt oil, and nothing works. I don't think it is the bearings because I have plastic gaged the rods and they are within spec and I can't feel any play in the mains. From what people have said it very probable a oil pump or a filter head problem.
My question is, what is the easiest way with the least amount of effort and work, to get that filter head off and the oil pump out? As it sits now, there is no way to reach in there and remove the oil lines.
I know that the best way is to remove the head and pull the pistons and remove the block and this will get me good access to everything, but if there is another way with less work that will allow me access, I would do it.
For instance, will removing the hydraulic pump on the governor, and steering wheel and gear shift support, and the gas tank give me access to get in there?
Any suggestions from people that have done this would be greatly appreciated.
