Oil pressure checks good. But messy.

This spring I took the gage out and down to the test lab at my company. After applying 80+ psi we got the gauge to move to 30psi and oil shot every where on inside the gauge. I guess I found my problem.

I then baught a gauge from the auto store and the fittings were all wrong. Off to the MF dealer and 1 9N,2N,8N gauge later I had one that fit.

I snugged it into place replaced my battery and started the old girl up.

.... No oil pressure.

..... .....what is that dripping on my foot.

..... ..... ...Rats, I forgot to attach the pressure line to the gauge. Well now I know the line is clear and the back of my dash is well oiled.

Popping the hood once more I quickly attached the pressure line and started her up once more. A nice steady 30 psi. After 10min of warming up the oil pressure dropped to just above 25 psi.

Happy tractoring all
