Bill, My oil pressure is, and always has been about as high as yours. Why? The only thing I can assume is that someone jimmied around the pressure relief valve to increase the oil pressure. Someone here asked the same question about high oil pressure, and I smugly responded that I didn't think oil pressure could get too high. Well, aparently that is not the case. As I recall I was corrected by someone telling me that there were seals that could be damaged by excesively high oil pressure. I don't remember which seals specifically, but I suppose the front and rear main crankshaft seals could be damaged by excessivly high oil pressure. To date, my tractor has had no problems with the high oil pressure, and I have had it for almost 2 years, my pressure is 50-55 psi, and I work it moderatly. I bush hog about 10 acres half a dozen times a year or more, and use it to drag stuff around the yard, and clear out the woods when I have time. Others opinions may be conflicting to mine, but I think the oil pressure is totally fine, but don't take my word for it. ----Rob
