Randy,

Normally, an engine will run on a minimum of around 8 lbs of oil pressure without doing itself in.

I've seen lots of engines bangin' around with 20 lbs and they don't seem to be having much trouble. So, if you aren't planning to pull the guts out of the tractor, you might be okay for quite some time yet.

However, that 15 lbs of oil pressure is telling you that there is a problem in there. Yes, all crank and camshaft bearings.

If you start hearing a "hashy" sound coming from the top end, I'd think I'd bite the bullet and fix it before you loose a crankshaft.

And, please remember, this is just my view,

Allan
