Started my 1550 up the other day after sitting for a long cold spell(started like a dream of course,lol)and the first thing I noticed was no oil pressure at the gauge,after a short panic made a quick sound inspection of the motor,now being the shadetree mechanic that I am,everything sounded fine,no knocks,bangs,etc.So assuming I had oil pressure with a faulty gauge I let it run and after 10 min or so gauge was working,so my question is,is the gauge itself frozen or is there moisture in the line going to gauge that is froze,and how would I fix either?

Thank You Stan

I had a similar problem with a Ford pickup when it was 20 below, 20 years ago, when I switched to Valvoline oil. There would be little or no oil pressure for 10 to 15 minutes after starting. I switched back to Havoline; problem disappeared.

Anything is possible, but I've never seen an oil gauge freeze. Certainly sounds that it is safe to assume you had/have oil pressure; otherwise, it would not have run 10 minutes without some smoke or bad noises. If it were my tractor, I would wait for a repeat occurrence before I tried to fix it; it may be a freak event under an unusual set of circumstances that will never happen again, if you're lucky...

Hi guys this is my first post in the site. I love it.. I have a 1650 gas which I changed oil in about a month ago. When I went to start it to check oil pressure I sat there for about 15-20 seconds with nothing showing on the gauge. Looked out the window and there was oil everywhere. The rubber gasket had went out of place when I put it on. Anyways my point is, since this has happened I have had problems with my oil pressure gauge also. It will not show oil presssure at all until u run the tractor for 1/2hour or so. It seems to be better when it is warm out. Could it be that I need to bleed the gauge @ the gauge itself?? I'm just thinking that maybe there is air in the line that won't work its way out in the cold weather we are having at this time of year... I love this tractor, I use it all winter long for hauling round bales out to the cattle.

Great site.
Todder
