I know the D17 has basickly the same engine as the WD45 but modified oil pump and filter system
the WD45 used a by pass oil system and pressure was around 10 to 12 LB What shuld the D17 pressure be. Cant find a replacemant guage and the only one I have found is a 60 lb dash mount My tractor runs 28 lb cold oil and 12 hot oil

I have a D17 gas that runs around 20 pounds hot. The engine has about 1000 to 1500 hours on it. I think diesels run slightly more. I have used the standard round automotive guages which work just fine. You will probably be hard pressed to find an oil guage that reads less that 60 psi. Check the link which has more comments on oil pressure.

Mine measured 26 cold and 22 warm, but not hot. It ran 25 minutes in the garage and the bottom radiator hose was still cold.

I changed oil to 15w-40 and the pressure went to 29-30psi, but I have since been told that multi-V oils are not good in the older tractors. jh

Todays multi-V oils will not hurt these older tractors one bit! In fact, you'll do better with them. You will get better oil circulation when the engine is cold. The old adage of "75 percent of your engine wear happens when the engine is cold" is correct. You want your oil circulating and doing its thing as quickly as possible.
