Gene, my point wasn't to say that older tractors don't have problems. I'm saying that if you mask a problem, and it could otherwise be fixed with something as simple as cleaning the pan or filter, you might well be inviting more trouble. IMHO, too many people here are putting too much stock in the oil pressure grail. In Andy's case, he is talking about a sudden loss of oil pressure - and not because of a sudden switch to a lighter oil. I would definitely investigate the cause here, rather than cover it up by switching to a thicker oil. It's your equipment - do as you like - but I'll take lower oil pressure with the knowledge that it is flowing to all vital areas - before I'll take a higher oil pressure, at the expense insufficient oil flow to certain engine components. Kind of like having high blood pressure because your arteries are clogged - or your blood is too thick! Do you really want that?
