Gentlemen, Any input would be greatly appreciated. I have a 72 Ford 5000 that I've owned for about 5 years. A couple of days ago while I was moving snow, the oil light came on. I checked the oil level and was down about a half a quart. Topped it off and restarted the tractor with the same status. Next I did what I always do when I have issues with my Ford.....I went inside and started searching this site for past related posts. Next day I went and got an oil pressure guage and screwed it in in place of the switch. The needle never moved on the guage. Here's my question: what pressure does the pressure switch require to open? and what would be considered a normal operating pressure at say 1200rpm? I did some reading and it sounds as though dropping the sump and accessing the oil pump is a bit of an endeavor, so any insight would be great. Thanks in advance, Dave
