While it will not address the root problem, you may be able to deal with it simply by raising the viscosity rating of your oil. If the tractor does not see much use, and you are reluctant to tear it down, I would give some thought to using 10-40 or more likely 20-50 oil. Simply putting in straight weight 30 will help your pressure when warms up but it is going to be harder on it on start up and cold weather and will eventually serve to make the problem worse.

While of course nothing beats the security of a rebuilt engine, I have found myself in a similiar problem to yours and I wound up using 20-50 oil and have had no more oil pressure issues. Only you can make the judgement call on how much you use it, how much time and money you are able to spend in addressing it, and how much it is really going to bother you.
