That is plent of oil pressure unless you just want to overhaul the engine. If it was 2 to 3 psi hot then I'd get a little worried but I'd put 20w50 in it and raise it a few pounds.

You'll never hurt an old Farmall changing to detergent. I've heard lot's of fears but not one actual instance.

By the way, detergent oil does not clean the engine, it merely maintains particles in suspension which helps slow sludge development.

If you are a worry wart, pull the pan and plastigage the rods, then check the oil pump and repair if necessary. The engine is not new but it is not worn out either.
